Joshuas catalog of Judahs sixth hill country district names nine cities clustered around Hebron — Arab Dumah Eshean Janum Beth-tappuah Aphekah Humtah Kiriath-arba and Zior — the Calebite heartland of the southern Judean highlands.
Joshua 15:52-54 catalogs the sixth hill country district of Judah's inheritance around 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 cluster occupied the rugged Judean highlands surrounding Hebron — the Calebite heartland where David would later flee through during his fugitive years from Saul, and where he was first anointed king over Judah at Hebron after Saul's death. These small farming villages clung to the central spine of southern Judah's highland ridge.
