Verse Takeaways

Real Places, Real History
Commentators note that this verse is part of a detailed, organized list of cities in Judah's southern region. They connect these names to real history, suggesting Telem is where King Saul gathered his army (1 Samuel 15:4) and Bealoth was later given to the tribe of Simeon. This list isn't just filler; it's a record of God's tangible gift of land to His people.
