What is Hazar-shual?
HA'ZAR-SHU'AL
(village or enclosure of jackals), a town in the southern portion of Judah; given afterward to Simeon, Josh 15:28; Josh 19:3; 1 Chr 4:28, and repeopled after the Captivity, Neh 11:27. Wilton suggested Beni Shail, near Gaza, as its site, but Van de Velde and Conder, with greater pi-obability, locate it at Saweh, between Beersheba and Moladah. The ruins are on a high bluff; a wall built of flint blocks surrounds the site, and justifies the name Hazar ("enclosure").
