SEV Biblia, Chapter 19:8
con todas las aldeas que estaban alrededor de estas ciudades hasta Baalat-beer, que es Ramat del mediodía. Esta es la heredad de la tribu de los hijos de Simeón, según sus familias.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 19:8
Verse 8. Baalath-beer] The well of the mistresses. Probably so called from some superstitious or impure worship set up there.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 8. And all the villages that [were] round about these cities , etc.] Not only the suburbs adjoining to those cities which are mentioned before, but the several small distinct towns and villages, scattered up and down in the country: to Baalathbeer, Ramath of the south : this is the same with Baal in ( Chronicles 4:33); and with Ramath of the south, or south Ramoth, as it is called ( 1 Samuel 30:27); all these are the names of one and the same city: this [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Simeon , according to their families ; that is, the above named cities fell to the lot of the inheritance of the Simeonites, and were divided among them according to the number of their respective families; at least, these were the chief and principal of them; for all that they possessed are not mentioned, particularly one called Tochen, ( 1 Chronicles 4:32); and another, the name of which is Etam there, unless that is thought to be the same with Ether here in ( Joshua 19:7). Josephus says f431 , this tribe took by lot that part of Idumea which lay near to Egypt and Arabia.
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.
