Joshuas catalog of Judahs second hill country district names nine cities around Hebron — Arab Dumah Eshean Janim Beth-tappuah Aphekah Humtah Kiriath-arba and Zior.
Joshua 15:52-54 catalogs the second hill country district of Judah's tribal inheritance — nine cities clustered around the patriarchal capital of Hebron: "Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, And Janum, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, And Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages." The district included Hebron itself — the city Caleb received as his special inheritance, the site of the cave of Machpelah where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were buried, and the future capital of David's seven-and-a-half-year reign over Judah before he captured Jerusalem.
