to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south: this is the same with Baal in 1-Chronicles 4:33; and with Ramath of the south, or south Ramoth, as it is called 1-Samuel 30:27; all these are the names of one and the same city:
this is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon,
according to their families; that is, the above named cities fell to the lot of the inheritance of the Simeonites, and were divided among them according to the number of their respective families; at least, these were the chief and principal of them; for all that they possessed are not mentioned, particularly one called Tochen, 1-Chronicles 4:32; and another, the name of which is Etam there, unless that is thought to be the same with Ether here in Joshua 19:7. Josephus says (f), this tribe took by lot that part of Idumea which lay near to Egypt and Arabia.
