"And they had in their inheritance Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,"
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
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, Jos 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, Ch1 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, Gen 21:31 ; See Gill on Jos 15:28 , and Moladah; another of the cities of Judah, Jos 15:26 . (z) Vid. Noldium, p. 280. No. 1200.
