Commentary
Gill's Exposition
And Humtah,.... Of Humtah we nowhere else read: and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron; of Kirjatharba we read frequently; See Gill on Jos 14:15 , and Zior; Jerom says (o), that
in his time there was a village shown by the name of Sihor, between Aelia (or Jerusalem) and Eleutheropolis, in the tribe of Judah: nine cities with their villages; which is exactly their number, as expressed; here ends the second division, or of the cities in the hill country of Judea; a third follows. (o) De loc. Heb. fol. 94. H.
