Quick answer
The list adds Hazar Shual, Beersheba, and Biziothiah. Beersheba, a famed patriarchal site, is included.
Overview
Beersheba, long associated with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, marked the traditional southern limit of the land ('from Dan to Beersheba'). Its inclusion ties Judah's inheritance to the patriarchal promises. The God who appeared to the fathers now settles their descendants in the very places of those promises.
