Eltolad, Chesil, and Hormah are listed. More southern cities are recorded.
Overview
Hormah recalls both Israel's earlier defeat there and later victory, a place whose name means destruction (Numbers 14:45; 21:3). Now it sits peacefully within Judah's inheritance. The Lord turns places of past judgment into possessions of His settled people.
