SCRIPTURE

"And they dwelt at Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazarshual," — 1 Chronicles 4:28 (ASV)

II.—THE SEATS OF THE SIMEONITES UNTIL THE REIGN OF DAVID (1 Chronicles 4:28–33).

This list is parallel to Joshua 19:2-8. There are some variations, partly accidental.

Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual.Joshua 19:2 adds Sheba after Beer-sheba—an obviously mistaken repetition, making fourteen towns in all, whereas 1 Chronicles 4:6 concludes, thirteen cities and their villages. Beer-sheba is Bir-esseba; Moladah, Tel-Milh, south of Hebron; Hazar-shual (fox-village) is unknown.
