Joshua 15:60 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 15:60

Kirjathbaal, (which [is] Kirjathjearim,)
Of Kirjathbaal, and its several names, (See Gill on Joshua 15:9);

and Rabbah,
of which we nowhere else read; for this is a very different city from the Rabbah of the children of Ammon, ( 2 Samuel 12:26 ) ;

two cities with their villages;
why these are reckoned by themselves is not certain.
