1 Chronicles 4:28 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 4:28

And they dwelt at Beersheba
posterity of Simeon; and this and the other places of their habitation are mentioned in the same order, and with very little variation of names to the end of ( 1 Chronicles 4:31 ) , as in ( Joshua 19:2-6 ) and here, at ( 1 Chronicles 4:31 ) it is added,

these were their cities unto the reign of David;
when, according to Kimchi, and other Jewish writers, he expelled them from thence, and restored them to the tribe of Judah.
