"And as for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and the towns thereof, and in Dibon and the towns thereof, and in Jekabzeel and the villages thereof," — Nehemiah 11:25 (ASV)
And for the villages, with their fields
The cities and villages in the country, an account of the inhabitants of them next follows:
some of the children of Judah dwelt at Kirjatharba, and in the
villages thereof;
the same with Hebron, (Joshua 15:54)
and at Dibon;
the same with Dimonah, (Joshua 15:22)
