And their villages were Etam, and Ain, Rimmon, and Tochen, and Ashan, five cities. There are but four mentioned in Jos 19:7 one might be added since, or new built, namely, Tochen; these, according to Kimchi, were all that remained for them to dwell in, in the times of David; and therefore they were obliged to seek out for new settlements for themselves and flocks, as in Ch1 4:39, &c.

(28) Beer-sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual.—Jos_19:2 adds Sheba after Beer-sheba—an obviously mistaken repetition, making fourteen towns in all, whereas 1Ch_4:6 concludes, “thirteen cities and their villages.” Beer-sheba is Bir-esseba; Moladah, Tel-Milh, south of Hebron; Hazar-shual (fox-village) is unknown.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Vers. 28-33. These "thirteen cities with their villages" and…
Vers. 28-33. These "thirteen cities with their villages" and "five cities" are found, with some slight differences, in Jos_19:1-9 (comp. Jos_15:26-32, Jos_15:42). They were carved out of the "portion of Judah," which had been found dispropor tioned during the interval that elapsed between the first settlements, viz. of Judah and the sons of Joseph, and the completion of the settlements westward of Jordan. (Jos_18:1-6; comp Jud_1:3, 17) From the second of these groups, Tochen (see suggestion in" Speaker"s Commentary," in loc.) is omitted in Jos_19:7, where only "four cities" are summed. The allusion (ver. 31) to the reign of David is sufficiently explained by the fact that during his persecuted wanderings he was often in the portion of Simeon, to three of the cities of which he sent presents from the spoils of the Amalekites; (1Sa_30:26-31) and Ziklag became his own, (1Sa_27:6) special mention being made of how it passed into the tribe of Judah. The fuller name of Baal (ver. 33) is given as Baalath-beer in Jos_19:8, where it is followed by the addition "Ramath (height) of the south." It may be noted that this description of the allotment of Simeon begins with Beer-sheba and ends with Baalath-beer. The expression (ver. 33), and their genealogy jy"thi infinitive Hithp., used as a noun will be more properly translated, their table of genealogy, or their registration. The following may then refer to "their habitations" rather than themselves, so that the clause, as a whole, would mean, "These were their dwellings, and their registration was correct to them." Bertheau, however, takes the meaning to be, "And there was their family register to them," i.e. "They had their own family register."
