Commentary on Judges 1:17

Theological / Devotional

Hormah. Signifying “devoted,” that is, devoted to utter destruction. This is the new name that the Hebrews gave to Zephath. As yet the site of the city has not been definitely determined by archaeologists. However, Tell esh-Sheri‘ah (also called Tell el-Mshash), near Beersheba and Zilclag, has been suggested. Hormah was in the territory of Simeon (Joshua 19:4), which accords with the statement of this verse.
