Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Moladah is probably the modern "El-Milh", and like Hazar-shual ("Berrishail" near Gaza) ( "enclosure of foxes") occurs Joshua 19:2-3; 1-Chronicles 4:28, as a town belonging to Simeon, and Nehemiah 11:26-27 as a place occupied by Jews after the captivity.

Amam,.... Of Amam we read nowhere else:
and Shema is thought by some to be the same with Sheba, though wrongly, given afterwards to the tribe of Simeon, as was also Moladah, mentioned with it, Joshua 19:2,
and Moladah; it is also spoken of in 1-Chronicles 4:28, and seems to be the same with Malathi or Malatis, about twenty miles from Hebron (f).
