Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Nehemiah 11:30
Zanoah, Adullam, and [in] their villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and [in] the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom.

Adullam ] Cf. Jos 15:35.

Azekah ] Cf. Jos 15:35.
And they dwelt ] R.V. So they encamped.
from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom ] i.e. from the extreme southern point of Israel to the northern boundary of the tribe of Judah, the ravine or valley of Hinnom (Gay-Hinnom = Gehenna). See Jos 15:8. On the ‘valley of Hinnom,’ see note on Neh 2:13. That this list is of later date than the days of Nehemiah, is a probable inference from a comparison of the numerous towns described in this chapter as being occupied by the men of Judah, with the few names of towns, which, if we may so understand the allusions in chap. 3, were occupied by Jews, at the time of the rebuilding of the walls, i.e. Jericho, Tekoa, Gibeon, Mizpah, Zanoah, Beth-haccerem, Beth-zur, Keilah.
