A city belonging to the priests in the tribe of Judah. (Joshua 15:10) This place is rendered remarkable from the slaughter the Lord made on the men of Beth-shemesh for their curiosity in looking into the ark. (See 1 Samuel 6:19) An invasion by any into the priest's office hath been always punished. (See Numbers 4:5; Num 4:15; Num 4:20) How blessedly the Holy Ghost testifieth of Christ, that he took not upon him the office of High Priest uncalled of JEHOVAH A glorious consideration to all his people. (Hebrews 5:4-5)
