Joshua 19:2

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba and Sheba ,.... Or, Beersheba, that is, Sheba; for so the particle "vau" is sometimes used F26 Vid. Noldium, p. 280. No. 1200. , 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, Joshua 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, 1 Chronicles 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, Genesis 21:31 ; See Gill on Joshua 15:28 ,

and Moladah ; another of the cities of Judah, Joshua 15:26 .
