Joshua 19:5

Ziklag. Possibly identified with Tell el-Khuweilfeh, which is southeast of Gaza, between Beersheba and Debir. Although given to Simeon, it was either not taken by this tribe, or, later lost, because it was given to David, at the time of his banishment by Saul, by the Philistine ruler, Achish (1 Sam. 27:6).

Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah. These two towns, the latter possibly Sbalat Abu Susein, were probably located near the north-south highway to Egypt. Their names suggest that they may have been the place where the Hyksos, and possibly later Solomon, kept their chariots and horses (1 Kings 10:26). The former name signifies “the house of chariots,” and the latter, “the village of horses.”
