Jozua 19:2 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:2

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba and Sheba
Or, Beersheba, that is, Sheba; for so the particle "vau" is sometimes used {z}, and must be so used here; or otherwise, instead of thirteen, it will appear that there are fourteen cities, contrary to the account of them, ( Joshua 19:6 ) ; so Kimchi and Ben Melech make them one city. And it may be observed, that in the enumeration of the cities of Simeon, ( 1 Chronicles 4:28 ) ; Sheba is left out, and only Beersheba is mentioned; which, was a well known place in, the farthest border of the land of Israel southward, and the reason of its name is manifest, ( Genesis 21:31 ) ; (See Gill on Joshua 15:28);

and Moladah;
another of the cities of Judah, ( Joshua 15:26 ) .
