John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 28. And Hazarshual , etc.] The first of these seems to have its name from an haunt of foxes here, and was given to the tribe of Simeon, ( Joshua 19:3); and is mentioned as here with Beersheba, ( Chronicles 4:28) ( Nehemiah 11:27); and Beersheba was a city well known in the extreme border of the land of Canaan southward; hence the phrase “from Dan to Beersheba”, ( Judges 20:1 1 Samuel 3:20 2 Samuel 3:10 17:11 24:2,15 1 Kings 4:25), of which Jerom says f330 , Bersabee, in the tribe of Judah or Simeon, is at this day a large village, twenty miles from Hebron to the south, in which there is a Roman garrison; and from hence the borders of the land of Judea begin, and go on to Dan, which is by Paneas; and Bizjothjah , of which mention is made elsewhere.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-63 - Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here fin Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but littl among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thu honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities __________________________________________________________________
