Bethlebaoth: Joshua 15:32

Reciprocal: 1 Chronicles 4:31 - and Hazarsusim

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Bethlebaoth, and Sharuhen,.... Whether the first is the same with Lebaoth, a city of Judah, Joshua 15:32; and with the Bethleptepha of Josephus b, and the Betholene of Pliny c, is not certain: in this place secret to have been an idol temple of the Canaanites, dedicated to lions, as in Egypt there was a city called Leontopolis, from whence was the Leontopolitan nome, the inhabitants of which worshipped lions d; and the Egyptians had temples dedicated to them, as Aelianus e relates. Both these places are thought to be the same with Bethbirei and Shaaraim in 1 Chronicles 4:31; of the latter of which see Joshua 15:36. Those who take Sheba, Joshua 19:2, to be the same with Shema, Joshua 15:26, make but one city here, and take away the last, as the Greek version does, and render the word "and their fields", and so the number still is as follows:

thirteen cities and their villages; the sum total of those enumerated above.

b De Jud. Bell. l. 4. c. 8. sect. 1. c Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 14. d Strabo. Geograph. l. 17. p. 559. e De Animal. l. 12. c. 7.

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).

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 19:6. Beth-lebaoth — The house or city of lionesses. Probably so called from the numbers of those animals which bred there.
