Sheba (place name, possibly identical with Beer-sheba)
This is a place name appearing in the tribal allotment of Simeon, listed alongside Beer-sheba. Most scholars consider it a textual variant or duplicate, possibly an error for Beer-sheba itself, since the phrase 'Beer-sheba and Sheba' seems redundant. The parallel passage in Chronicles omits it entirely, supporting the view that it may not represent a distinct location. If genuine, it would be a town in the southern territory of Simeon, though its exact identification remains uncertain.

Senses
1. sense 1 A place name in Simeon's inheritance in Joshua 19:2, appearing in conjunction with Beer-sheba. The Septuagint variations and the omission in the Chronicles parallel suggest textual uncertainty. Most scholars view this as either a scribal duplicate of Beer-sheba or a closely associated location, rather than a completely separate town. The conjunction 'and Sheba' following 'Beer-sheba' creates the redundancy that has puzzled interpreters.
