John Gill Commentary Joshua 15:26

"Amam, and Shema, and Moladah," — Joshua 15:26 (ASV)

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) (Nehemiah 11:26), and seems to be the same with Malathi or Malatis, about twenty miles from Hebron ^F6 .
