Contextual Overview

1 The second lot came out for Shim`on, even for the tribe of the children of Shim`on according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Yehudah. 2 They had for their inheritance Be'er-Sheva, or Sheva, and Moladah, 3 and Hatzar-Shu`al, and Balah, and `Etzem, 4 and Eltolad, and Beitul, and Hormah, 5 and Tziklag, and Beit-Markavot, and Hatzar-Susah, 6 and Beit-Leva'ot, and Sharuchen; thirteen cities with their villages: 7 `Ayin, Rimmon, and `Eter, and `Ashan; four cities with their villages: 8 and all the villages that were round about these cities to Ba`alat-Be'er, Ramah of the South. This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Shim`on according to their families. 9 Out of the part of the children of Yehudah was the inheritance of the children of Shim`on; for the portion of the children of Yehudah was too much for them: therefore the children of Shim`on had inheritance in the midst of their inheritance.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ain, Remmon,.... Of the two first, which were cities of Judah,

:-;

and Ether, and Ashan; of the two last, see Gill "Jos 19:42";

four cities and their villages; Ain, Remmon, therefore, could not be one city, at this time, as it seems to have been in the times of Nehemiah, Nehemiah 11:29; or otherwise there would have been but three cities.

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).
