John Gill Commentary Joshua 15:24

"Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth," — Joshua 15:24 (ASV)

Ziph
Ziph was of the tribe of Judah in the south, on the borders of Eleutheropolis, as Jerom says ^F4 and was eight miles from Hebron to the east; and in his time a village was shown, where David was hid; but that Ziph seems to be in another part of this tribe near Carmel, and from which a wilderness had its name; see (Joshua 15:55) (1 Samuel 23:14) ;

and Telem
is supposed to be the same with Telaim, (1 Samuel 15:4) ;

and Bealoth ;
of this city we read nowhere else.
