Contextual Overview

¹ The second lot came out for Shim‘on, for the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on according to their families. Their inheritance was inside the inheritance of the descendants of Y'hudah. ² For their inheritance they had Be'er-Sheva, Sheva, Moladah, ³ Hatzar-Shu‘al, Balah, ‘Etzem, ⁴ El-Tolad, B'tul, Hormah, ⁵ Ziklag, Beit-Markavot, Hatzar-Susah, ⁶ Beit-L'va'ot and Sharuchen — thirteen cities, together with their villages; ⁷ ‘Ayin, Rimmon, ‘Eter and ‘Ashan — four cities, together with their villages; ⁸ and all the villages surrounding these cities, as far as Ba‘alat-Be'er, Ramah of the Negev. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the descendants of Shim‘on according to their families. ⁹ The inheritance of the descendants of Shim‘on was taken out of the allotment for the descendants of Y'hudah, because the portion given to the descendants of Y'hudah was too much for them, so the descendants of Shim‘on had an inheritance inside the descendants of Y'hudah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they had in their inheritance Beersheba and Sheba,.... Or, Beersheba, that is, Sheba; for so the particle "vau" is sometimes used z, and must be so used here; or otherwise, instead of thirteen, it will appear that there are fourteen cities, contrary to the account of them, Joshua 19:6; so Kimchi and Ben Melech make them one city. And it may be observed, that in the enumeration of the cities of Simeon, 1 Chronicles 4:28; Sheba is left out, and only Beersheba is mentioned; which, was a well known place in, the farthest border of the land of Israel southward, and the reason of its name is manifest, Genesis 21:31;

Genesis 21:31- :;

and Moladah; another of the cities of Judah, Joshua 15:26.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The inheritance of Simeon was taken out of the portion of Judah, which proved on experience to be larger than the numbers of that tribe required. The Simeonite territory is described by its towns, of which fourteen were in the Negeb, and four others Joshua 19:7 partly in the Negeb and partly in “the valley.” On the narrow confines here assigned to Simeon, and its insignificant position altogether among the Twelve tribes, see Deuteronomy 33:6 note.

Joshua 19:6

Thirteen - Fourteen names have been given. The error is probably due to the use of letters for numbers, which has led to many similar mistakes in other places (see Joshua 15:32).
