John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 3. And Hazarshual , etc.] (See Gill on “ Joshua 15:28”); and Balah, and Azem ; of these places see Gill “Joshua 15:29” ; for Balah is the same with Baalah there, and with Bilhah ( 1 Chronicles 4:29); and Azem with Ezem there.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-9 - The men of Judah did not oppose taking away the cities within their border, when convinced that they had more than was right. If a tru believer has obtained an unintended and improper advantage in an thing, he will give it up without murmuring. Love seeketh not her own and doth not behave unseemly; it will induce those in whom it richl dwells, to part with their own to supply what is lacking to their brethren.
