Judges1:17

17 And Judah went with Simeon his brother , and they slew the Canaanites that inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it (and the name of the city was called Hormah) .

According to his Promise, v. 3. and the Laws of Justice and Gratitude.

Either 1. The same place so destroyed and called, Numb. 21. 3. and so what was there Vowed, [illegible: 1+ letters], here Executed: Or 2. Some other place called by the same Name upon the like occasion, which was frequent among the Hebrews: This seems more probable, 1. Because this was but one City; that, divers Cities, Numb. 21. 2, 3. 2. Because that seems to have been done in Moses his time, though Interpreters generally think otherwise; of which see my Notes there.
