sn The Shephelah is the geographical region between the Mediterranean coastal plain and the Judean hill country.

⁶ sn The Hebrew term Negev means literally “desert” or “south” (so KJV, ASV). It refers to the area south of Beer Sheba and generally west of the Arabah Valley between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba.

⁷ tn The Hebrew text includes “in their hand,” which is unnecessary and somewhat redundant in English style.
