And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah,

In the midst of the possession of the children of Juda: Bersabee and Sabee and Molada,

And they had for their heritage Beer-sheba and Shema and Moladah

And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba with Sheba, and Moladah;

in the midst of the possession of the sons of Judah: Beersheba, and Sheba, and Moladah,

Fuitque eis in haereditate eorum Beer-seba, et Seba, et Moladah,

Beer-sheba - The well of the oath. See the note on Genesis 21:31.

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba and Sheba,.... Or, Beersheba, that is, Sheba; for so the particle "vau" is sometimes used (z), 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.
