And at Hazar-shual, and at Beer-sheba, and in the villages thereof,
Nehemiah's record concerns the remnant that came back to Jerusalem after the seventy years of captivity, setting forth their condition and the covenant they entered into. Within that account this verse belongs to the description of where that returned people lived. It names Hazar-shual and Beer-sheba, with the villages belonging to them, as settlements occupied by those returnees.
