- Numbers 14:45
Then the Amalekites and Canaanites who lived in that part of the hill country came down, attacked them, and routed them all the way to Hormah.
Commentary on Numbers 14:452 voices
Unto Hormah - literally, the Hormah: i. e. the banning, or ban-place. Compare Num 21:3; Jos 12:14. According to the view taken of Kadesh (see Num 13:26), Hormah is identified, through its earlier name, Zephath Jdg 1:17, with es-Safah on the southeastern frontier of Canaan, by which the Israelites quitted the Arabah for the higher ground, (or with Sebaita, which lies further to the west, about 25 miles north of Ain Gadis).

Commentary on Numbers 21:1–32 voices
And when King Arad the Canaanite, which dwelt in the south,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
King Arad the Canaanite - Rather, the Canaanite, the king of Arad. Arad stood on a small hill, now called Tel-Arad, 20 miles south of Hebron. In the south - See Num 13:17, Num 13:22. By the way of the spies - i. e. through the desert of Zin, the route which the spies sent out by Moses 38 years before had adopted (compare Num 13:21). He fought against Israel - This attack (compare Num 20:1 and note), can hardly have taken place after the death of Aaron.

- Deuteronomy 1:44
Then the Amorites who lived in the hills came out against you and chased you like a swarm of bees. They routed you from Seir all the way to Hormah.
Commentary on Deuteronomy 1:442 voices
And the Amorites which dwelt in the mountain,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The Amorites - In Num 14:45, it is the Amalekites and the Canaanites who are said to have discomfited them. The Amorites, as the most powerful nation of Canaan, lend their name here, as in other passages (eg. Deu 1:7) to the Canaanite tribes generally.

- Joshua 12:14
the king of Hormah, one; the king of Arad, one;
Commentary on Joshua 12:142 voices
The king of Hormah, one,.... Which was formerly called Zephath, Jdg 1:17; see Jos 15:3, the king of Arad, one; perhaps the same with Arath, which, Jerom (i) says, is the border of the land of Judah, and is twenty miles distant from Hebron to the south; see Num 21:1. (i) De Loc. Heb. fol. 92. L.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
The king of Hormah - Supposed to be the place where the Israelites were defeated by the Canaanites see Num 14:45; and which probably was called Hormah, הרמה chormah, or destruction, from this circumstance.

- Joshua 15:30
Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah,
Commentary on Joshua 15:301 voice
And Eltolad,.... The first of these cities is called Tolad, 1Ch 4:29, and Chesil seems to be the same with Bethul and Bethuel, Jos 19:4 1Ch 4:30; and here the Greek version calls it Baithel: and Hormah is the same with Zephath, Jdg 1:17. All these three cities were given to the tribe of Simeon, Jos 19:4.

- Joshua 19:4
Eltolad, Bethul, Hormah,
Commentary on Joshua 19:41 voice
And Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah. These were all cities of Judah, Jos 15:30; Eltolad is the same with Tolad, and Bethul with Bethuel, 1Ch 4:29, and with Chesil, Jos 15:30, mentioned there along with Hormah; See Gill on Jos 15:30.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
- Judges 1:17
Then the men of Judah went with their brothers the Simeonites, attacked the Canaanites living in Zephath, and devoted the city to destruction. So it was called Hormah.

- 1 Samuel 30:30
to those in Hormah, Bor-ashan, and Athach;
Commentary on 1 Samuel 30:302 voices
And to them which were in Hormah,.... This was a city also in the tribe of Judah; of which see Jos 15:30, and to them which were in Chorashan; or the lake of Ashan, which was in the same tribe, see Jos 15:42, and to them which were in Athach; nowhere else mentioned; the Greek version has Nombe instead of it, which some take to be the same with Nob; but that was in the tribe of Benjamin.
John Gill· Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)Reformed
Hormah - The general name of those cities which belonged to Arad, king of Canaan; and were devoted to destruction by the Hebrews, and thence called Hormah. See Num 21:1-3. In Chor-ashan - Probably the same as Ashan in the tribe of Judah: see Jos 15:42 (note). It was afterwards ceded to Simeon, Jos 19:7. To them which were in Athach - Probably the same as Ether, Jos 19:7.
