Joshua 15:13

according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua; for as he had declared this to Moses, Deuteronomy 1:36; so it seems he also gave the same order to Joshua, who, it is not improbable, might consult the Lord about it when Caleb made his request, Joshua 14:12;

even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron;
