Nehemiahs catalog of the post-exile resettlement names the dozens of small Judean towns the returnees reclaimed from Beersheba to Hinnom — including Mekonah Ziklag En-rimmon Zareah Jarmuth Zanoah and Adullam — fulfilling the prophetic promise of return even beyond the official Persian-era province of Yehud.
Nehemiah 11:25-30 catalogs the post-exile resettlement of Judah beyond the small Persian-era province of Yehud: "And the children of Judah dwelt at Kiriath-arba... and at Ziklag, and at Mekonah, and in the villages thereof, And at En-rimmon, and at Zareah, and at Jarmuth, Zanoah, Adullam, and in their villages, at Lachish, and the fields thereof, at Azekah, and in the villages thereof. And they dwelt from Beer-sheba unto the valley of Hinnom." Mekonah lay between Ziklag and En-rimmon in the western Negev, repopulated under Nehemiah's pastoral reorganization that pushed Judean settlement well south of the official boundary line.
