Judges 1:16

1:16 Now the descendants of the Kenite, Moses’ father-in-law, went up with the people of Judah from the City of Date Palm Trees to Arad in the desert of Judah, ¹  located in the Negev. ²  They went and lived with the people of Judah. ³ 

Deuteronomy 34:3

34:3 the Negev, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of the date palm trees, as far as Zoar.

Psalms 83:7

83:7 Gebal, ⁴  Ammon, and Amalek,

Philistia and the inhabitants of Tyre. ⁵ 

¹ tc Part of the Greek ms tradition lacks the words “of Judah.”

² tn Heb “[to] the Desert of Judah in the Negev, Arad.”

³ tn The phrase “of Judah” is supplied here in the translation. Some ancient textual witnesses read, “They went and lived with the Amalekites.” This reading, however, is probably influenced by 1 Sam 15:6 (see also Num 24:20-21).

⁴ sn Some identify Gebal with the Phoenician coastal city of Byblos (see Ezek 27:9, where the name is spelled differently), though others locate this site south of the Dead Sea (see BDB 148 s.v. גְּבַל; HALOT 174 s.v. גְּבַל).
