Joshua 15:31 stands within Joshua 13-22, the account of the distribution, division, and settling of the Promised Land among the tribes, a portion that also deals with the conquering of the Canaanites. That distribution of the land rested on written documents in which the property was accurately described. Within that allotment of inheritance, the verse names towns belonging to the list of cities allotted to Judah. The chapter is the source for identifying one of Judah's eleven mountain cities. The settling took place amid Israel's lack of faith and slowness to possess, yet it was completed as God wrought all that He had promised and let none of His good words fail.
