Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Chor-ashan - Perhaps the same as Ashan Joshua 15:42, in the Shephelah of Judah, inhabited by Simeonites, and one of the priests' cities 1-Chronicles 4:32; 1-Chronicles 6:59.

Hormah - The general name of those cities which belonged to Arad, king of Canaan; and were devoted to destruction by the Hebrews, and thence called Hormah. See Numbers 21:1-3.
In Chor-ashan - Probably the same as Ashan in the tribe of Judah: see Joshua 15:42 (note). It was afterwards ceded to Simeon, Joshua 19:7.
To them which were in Athach - Probably the same as Ether, Joshua 19:7.

And to them which were in Hormah,.... This was a city also in the tribe of Judah; of which see Joshua 15:30,
and to them which were in Chorashan; or the lake of Ashan, which was in the same tribe, see Joshua 15:42,
and to them which were in Athach; nowhere else mentioned; the Greek version has Nombe instead of it, which some take to be the same with Nob; but that was in the tribe of Benjamin.
