And Hazarshual,…. The first of these seems to have its name from an haunt of foxes here, and was given to the tribe of Simeon,
Jos 19:3; and is mentioned as here with Beersheba, 1Ch 4:28
Ne 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”,
Jud 20:1, of which Jerom says h, 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.

28. Beer-sheba This spot, so much associated with patriarchal history, has been identified with the modern Bir-es-Seba, some thirty miles southwest of Hebron. It afterwards became famous as the southern limit of the Holy Land, in the formula “From Dan to Beer-sheba.” For the origin of the name and history see at Gen 21:31; Gen 26:33. Two deep wells are still found there, and a number of smaller ones. The largest well is twelve and a half feet in diameter, and about fifty in depth.
