Lebaoth
The name "Lebaoth" is derived from the Hebrew word "לְבָאוֹת" (Leva'ot), which means "lions." This name may suggest a place characterized by strength or ferocity, possibly indicating a region known for its wildlife or a stronghold. In a spiritual sense, the lion is often a symbol of courage and power, reflecting the strength that God imparts to His people.

Shilhim
The Hebrew root for "Shilhim" is "שִׁלְחִים" (Shilchim), which can be associated with the idea of sending or dispatching. This could imply a place of movement or transition, perhaps a hub of activity or trade. Spiritually, it reminds believers of the mission to go forth and spread the message of God, echoing the Great Commission.

Ain
"Ain" comes from the Hebrew "עַיִן" (Ayin), meaning "spring" or "fountain." This term is often used in the Bible to denote a source of life-giving water, symbolizing refreshment and sustenance. In a spiritual context, it represents the living water that Christ offers, quenching the spiritual thirst of believers and providing eternal life.

Rimmon
The name "Rimmon" is derived from "רִמּוֹן" (Rimmon), which means "pomegranate." The pomegranate is a symbol of fruitfulness and abundance in the Bible. It signifies the blessings and prosperity that come from living in accordance with God's will. The pomegranate's many seeds also symbolize the multitude of God's promises and the richness of His grace.

twenty-nine cities in all
The specific mention of "twenty-nine cities" highlights the completeness and order of God's provision for the tribe of Judah. Each city represents a unique aspect of the inheritance promised to God's people. This enumeration underscores the meticulous care with which God fulfills His promises, ensuring that each tribe receives its allotted portion.

along with their villages
The inclusion of "villages" indicates the broader community and support system surrounding the cities. It reflects the interconnectedness of God's people and the importance of community in the life of faith. This phrase reminds believers of the value of fellowship and the strength found in unity, as each member contributes to the well-being of the whole.

Verse 32. - Ain, Rimmon (see Joshua 19:7; 1 Chronicles 4:32; Nehemiah 11:29). More likely the name of one place Ain-Rimmon, the fountain of the god Rimmon. For Rimmon see 2 Kings 5:18. The word signifying eye, or fountain, is written indifferently Ain or En in our version (see En-shemesh and En-rogel in this chapter). Bitumen is mentioned in Zechariah 14:10 as "south of Jerusalem." Now Umm er-Rumamin (Conder). Verse 32. Twenty-nine. There is another of the very common errors of numbers here. The actual number is thirty-six. The error is as old as the LXX. version.
