Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 15:32

32 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine , with their villages.

Obj. Here are 37, or 38 Cities named before; how then are they only reckoned 29? Ans. There were only 29 of them, which either, 1. Properly belonged to Iudah, the rest fell to Simeons Lot; or 2. Were Cities properly so called, i. e. walled Cities, or such as had Villages under them, as it here follows, the rest being great, but unwalled Towns, or such as had no Villages under them.
