Hazar-Shual

Hazar-shual was a modest town on the southern edge of Judah, in the same district as Beersheba. Joshua lists it among the towns given to Judah, and then again among those given to Simeon, whose share lay inside Judah’s. Long afterward, when Nehemiah recorded who lived where in the rebuilt land, some of the people of Judah settled at Hazarshual, with Beersheba and its villages. The Bible tells no stories about it. It simply keeps turning up in lists of ordinary places where families lived, from the first settlement of Canaan to the return from exile.
