Cabbon
The name "Cabbon" is derived from the Hebrew root "kavvan," which means "to be devoted" or "to be set apart." This reflects the spiritual calling of the Israelites to be a people set apart for God. In the context of the land allotments in Joshua, Cabbon represents a tangible reminder of the Israelites' covenant with God. Archaeologically, while specific remains of Cabbon have not been definitively identified, its mention signifies the detailed record-keeping and the importance of each location in the tribal inheritance. Spiritually, it calls believers to consider their own devotion and the areas of their lives that are set apart for God's purposes.

Lahmas
The name "Lahmas" is less clear in its etymology, but it may be related to the Hebrew word "lechem," meaning "bread." This connection can symbolize sustenance and provision, reminding us of God's provision for the Israelites as they settled in the Promised Land. Historically, the allocation of land to the tribes of Israel was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, and each city or town, including Lahmas, was a testament to God's faithfulness. For modern believers, Lahmas can inspire reflection on how God provides for our needs and sustains us in our spiritual journey.

Kitlish
"Kitlish" is another location whose exact meaning and archaeological identification remain uncertain. However, its inclusion in the list of towns allotted to the tribe of Judah underscores the comprehensive nature of God's promises. Each name, even those less understood, contributes to the tapestry of God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises to His people. Scripturally, Kitlish serves as a reminder that every detail in God's plan is significant, even when its purpose is not immediately clear to us. It encourages believers to trust in God's overarching plan and His attention to detail in our lives.
