And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh,

And in the mountains, х uwbaahaar (H2022)] - and in the mountain, the hill-country of Judah [Septuagint, kai en tee oreinee].

Shamir, [Septuagint, Samir] - a town classed with Jattir and Socoh, which have been discovered 8 or 10 miles south of Hebron; so that it may be concluded to have stood in the same quarter; but its exact site has not been ascertained.

Jattir, х Yatiyr (H3492), pre-eminent; Septuagint, Iether] - perhaps the modern 'Attir (Robinson's 'Biblical Researches,' 2:, pp. 194, 625).

Socoh, [Septuagint, Soocha] - now Shaukeh, or Shuweikeh.
