Joshua 15:54

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 F15 De loc. Heb. fol. 94. H. , 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.
