It is mentioned in the context of the territorial allotments given to the tribe of Judah. Geographically, Halhul is situated approximately 4 miles north of Hebron, on a high elevation, which is significant as it provided a strategic advantage in ancient times. The name Halhul means "trembling" or "to be troubled," which may reflect the town's history or the nature of its terrain. Archaeological evidence suggests that Halhul was inhabited during various periods, including the Iron Age, which aligns with the biblical timeline. The town's location in the hill country signifies its role in the defense and administration of the region.<p><b>Beth-zur</b><br>Beth-zur is another town in the hill country of Judah, known for its strong fortifications. The name Beth-zur means "house of rock" or "house of the fortress," indicating its strategic importance. Historically, Beth-zur played a significant role during the Maccabean Revolt, as it was fortified by Judas Maccabeus to protect against the Seleucid Empire. The town is mentioned in other biblical passages, such as <a href="/1_chronicles/2-45.htm">1 Chronicles 2:45</a>, where it is associated with the descendants of Caleb. Beth-zur's location on the main road from Jerusalem to Hebron made it a critical point for controlling access to the southern regions of Judah. Its fortifications and strategic position highlight the importance of security and defense in the biblical narrative.<p><b>Gedor</b><br>Gedor is a town mentioned in the allotment of the tribe of Judah, located in the mountainous region. The name Gedor means "wall" or "enclosure," suggesting a place of protection or refuge. In <a href="/1_chronicles/4-39.htm">1 Chronicles 4:39</a>, Gedor is associated with the descendants of Simeon, who sought pasture for their flocks. This connection indicates that Gedor was a place of agricultural significance, providing resources for the surrounding communities. The town's mention in the context of Judah's inheritance underscores the tribe's responsibility to cultivate and protect the land. Gedor's location in the hill country also implies a role in the defense network of Judah, contributing to the overall security of the region.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/h/halhul.htm">Halhul</a></b><br>A town in the hill country of Judah.
