Joshua 15:54

And Humtah, and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages:

And Humtah,.... Of Humtah we nowhere else read;

and Kirjatharba, which is Hebron; of Kirjatharba we read frequently;

See Gill on "Joshua 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.
