30. Hormah — A city formerly inhabited by Canaanites and called Zephath. Robinson identified it with the pass es-Sufah, some forty miles south of Hebron, but Professor E.H. Palmer finds a much more probable identification of it in the extensive ruins, twenty-five miles southwest of Beer-sheba, called Sebaita. The ruins cover an area of about five hundred yards long and from two hundred to three hundred yards wide. See on Jdg_1:17. Chorashan and Athach are now unknown.

30. Hormah] Or Zephath (Jdg_1:17), an ancient Canaanite city (Jos_12:14), assigned to Judah (Jos_15:30) and transferred to Simeon (Jos_19:4).
Chor-ashan] The true reading is Bor-ashan (= Cistern of Ashan). It was doubtless the same as Ashan, a Simeonite city in the Negeb originally given to Judah (Jos_15:42; Jos_19:7).

Athach] Nowhere else mentioned. Perhaps a corruption for Ether, the letters of which are very similar, (Jos_15:42, where the Sept. reads Ithak; 1Sa_19:7), another city of Judah transferred to Simeon.

Hormah. Anciently called Zephath. For the reason of the change of name see Jud_1:17. Chor-ashan. More correctly Corashan, the same place as Ashan, (Jos_15:42) a Simeonite town (1Ch_4:32) assigned to the priests. (Jos_6:5-9) Athach, never mentioned elsewhere, may be a false reading for Ether (Jos_19:7).
