Joshua 15:28
And Hazarshual, and Beersheba, and Bizjothjah,
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,
Joshua 19:3; and is mentioned as here with Beersheba, 1 Chronicles 4:28
and Beersheba was a city well known in the extreme border of the land of Canaan southward; hence the phrase "from Dan to Beersheba",
Judges 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.
