Hormah - A place rendered famous by the defeat of the Hebrews by the Canaanites. See Numbers 14:45, Deuteronomy 1:44.

And Eltolad, and Chesil, and (h) Hormah,
(h) Which before was called Zephath, (Judges 1:17).

And Eltolad,.... The first of these cities is called Tolad, 1-Chronicles 4:29,
and Chesil seems to be the same with Bethul and Bethuel, Joshua 19:4 1-Chronicles 4:30; and here the Greek version calls it Baithel:
and Hormah is the same with Zephath, Judges 1:17. All these three cities were given to the tribe of Simeon, Joshua 19:4.
