HORMAH

Town near Beersheba in the Negev and on the border of the tribes of Judah and Simeon. Originally a Canaanite settlement, it became Judah’s according to Joshua 15:30 and then Simeon’s according to Joshua 19:4, 9 OET JOS 19:4 · OET JOS 19:9. Judah dominated it again by the time of the early monarchy (1 Sm 30:30). The change of the Canaanite name Zephath to Hormah when the Hebrews first conquered it is noted in Judges 1:17. Hormah took David’s side during his running feud with King Saul and David rewarded the town by sending it some of the spoils of Ziklag (1 Sm 30). Joshua 15:30 describes it as being in the south near Kesil and Ziklag, but its precise location remains unknown. From the reference in Numbers 14:45, it could well be south of Kadesh-barnea, where the Israelites spent much of the wilderness period.
