And Hazarshual,.... The first of these seems to have its name from an haunt of foxes here, and was given to the tribe of Simeon,
Jos 19:3
; and is mentioned as here with Beersheba,
Ch1 4:28
Neh 11:27
,
and Beersheba was a city well known in the extreme border of the land of Canaan southward; hence the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba",
Jdg 20:1
, of which Jerom says (h), Bersabee, in the tribe of Judah or Simeon, is at this day a large village, twenty miles from Hebron to the south, in which there is a Roman garrison; and from hence the borders of the land of Judea begin, and go on to Dan, which is by Paneas:
and Bizjothjah, of which mention is made elsewhere.
(h) lbid. fol. 89. E. F.
