Joshua 19:7 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:7

Ain, Remmon
Of the two first, which were cities of Judah, (See Gill on Joshua 15:32);

and Ether, and Ashan; of the two last, (See Gill on Joshua 19:42);

four cities and their villages;
Ain, Remmon, therefore, could not be one city, at this time, as it seems to have been in the times of Nehemiah, ( Nehemiah 11:29 ) ; or otherwise there would have been but three cities.

Taken from John Gill's Exposition of the Bible

Joshua 19:7 In-Context

5 and Ziklag and Beth-marcaboth and Hazar-susah,

6 and Beth-lebaoth and Sharuhen; thirteen cities with their villages;

7 Ain, Rimmon and Ether and Ashan; four cities with their villages;

8 and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

9 The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of Judah's inheritance.
