Commentaries
Matthew Henry's Commentary
16:20-63 Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here find Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but little among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thus honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown
6, 7. Michmethah on the north side—The northern boundary is traced from this point eastward to the Jordan.
Joshua 16:5
