John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 19:1
Verse 1 Next followed the lot of the tribe of Simeon, not as a mark of honor, but rather as a mark of disgrace. Jacob had declared with regard to Simeon and Levi, “I will divide them in Jacob, and scatter them in Israel.” (Genesis 49:7) The punishment of Levi, indeed, was not only mitigated, but converted into an excellent dignity, inasmuch as his posterity were placed on a kind of watch-towers to keep the people in the paths of piety. In regard to Simeon, the dispersion of which Jacob... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 19:1
EXPOSITION THE LOT OF THE REMAINING TRIBES . And their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah. Literally, in the midst of. ἀνὰ μέσον , LXX .; in medio, Vulgate (cf. Joshua 19:9 ). Simeon, at the last census ( Numbers 26:14 ), was the smallest of the tribes of Israel, a fulfilment of the prophecy of Jacob, and possibly the result of the command given in Numbers 25:5 , since the Simeonites were the chief offenders on that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 19:2
Beersheba . A locality well known in Scripture, from Genesis 21:31 onwards. And Sheba. Some would translate here, or Sheba (see below). No doubt the city, of which nothing further is known, derived its name from Beer-sheba, "the well of the oath," close by. It is true that some little difficulty is caused by the omission of this city in Chronicles 4:28, by the identification of Shehah with Beer-sheba in Genesis 26:33 , and by the fact that in Genesis 26:6 we are told that there... read more

Hazar-shual. The "hamlet of jackals." The word Hazar is translated "village" in our version (see note on Joshua 15:32 ). So also with Hazar-susah or Hazar-susim, "the hamlet of horses" ( 1 Chronicles 4:31 ) below. read more
