Hazar-shual

Hazar-shual ("court of the fox" or "village of the jackal") was a town in the Negev allotted to Simeon as an enclave within Judah's territory (Joshua 15:28, 19:3, 1 Chronicles 4:28). The name reflects the wild jackals that haunted the desert frontier. Like most Negev outposts, it survived as a small frontier settlement.
