Read Joshua 15.20-63. In 15.20-63: The towns of Judah. In verse 20: This description was taken from an authentic source cataloging the administrative districts of the kingdom of Judah. The remainder of this list was used to portray Benhaman (18.21-28). In verse 21-32: Districts are grouped and labeled geographically. This first district is in the south (v. 21; Heb., "the Negeb"). Each district concludes with an enumeration of towns, with their villages (v. 32). In verses 33-44: Three districts are in the lowland (Heb., "Shephelah"). In verse 45-47: This district of Philistine towns does not follow the pattern and was not part of the original source document. In verses 48-60: Other districts are in the hill country. In verses 61-62: One district is in the wilderness. In verse 63: Jerusalem became part of Israel only under David (2 Sam 5.6-9). Comments or or Questions.
