Its mention in <a href="/joshua/15-40.htm">Joshua 15:40</a> places it within the context of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The name "Cabbon" is not widely referenced elsewhere in the Bible, which suggests it may have been a smaller or less significant settlement. The allocation of land to the tribes was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, emphasizing God's faithfulness. The specific location of Cabbon is not definitively known today, but it is believed to have been situated in the lowland region of Judah, an area characterized by fertile land suitable for agriculture, which would have been important for the sustenance of the tribe.<p><b>Lahmas</b><br>Lahmas is another town listed in the territory of Judah. Like Cabbon, it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in Scripture, indicating it may have been a minor settlement. The inclusion of such towns in the biblical record underscores the comprehensive nature of the land distribution and God's attention to detail in fulfilling His promises. The name "Lahmas" does not have a clear etymology or significant archaeological findings associated with it, but its presence in the list highlights the thoroughness of the territorial boundaries established for Judah. This reflects the broader biblical theme of God's provision and order in the lives of His people.<p><b>Chitlish</b><br>Chitlish is also part of the inheritance of Judah. The town is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible, which suggests it was likely a small or less prominent location. The listing of Chitlish, along with other towns, illustrates the meticulous division of the land among the tribes, ensuring that each had a place to settle and thrive. This division was crucial for the establishment of Israel as a nation in the land God had promised. The specific location of Chitlish remains uncertain, but its inclusion in the biblical text serves as a testament to the historical and covenantal significance of the land distribution process. The allocation of land to the tribes, including towns like Chitlish, is a reminder of God's sovereignty and the fulfillment of His covenant promises.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/c/cabbon.htm">Cabbon</a></b><br>A town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah.
