This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Object. Here are thirty-seven or thirty-eight cities named before; how then are they only reckoned twenty-nine?



Answ. There were only twenty-nine of them, which either,



1. Properly belonged to Judah; the rest fell to Simeon’s lot; or,



2. Were cities properly so called, i.e. walled cities, or such as had villages under them, as it here follows, the rest being great but unwalled towns, or such as had no villages under them.
