It was one of 'the uttermost cities of Judah, towards the borders of Edom in the south,' and is named between Chesll and Ziklag (Jos 15:30), also between Bethul (or Bethuel) and Ziklag (Jos 19:4; 1Ch 4:30), in the territory occupied by Simeon. It was one of the towns to which David sent a share of the booty taken from the Amalekites who had raided Ziklag in his absence (1Sa 30:30). There is no need to assume with Guthe (Bibelw
