The Tribes and Clans of Eastern Judah, circa 1200 B.C.

This map shows the towns and clans of eastern Judah around 1200 BC, focusing on the hill country and wilderness areas west of the Dead Sea. It highlights Judah's rugged territory, including places such as Bethlehem, Hebron, Ziph, Carmel, Maon, Debir, and En-gedi, as well as nearby groups such as the Jebusites, Kenites, Simeonites, Edomites, and Philistines. The map also shows important wilderness regions, including the Wilderness of Judah, the Wilderness of Ziph, and the Wilderness of Maon, which later became important in the life of David as he fled from Saul. This region was part of Judah's inheritance and became closely connected with Israel's tribal identity, David's early life, and God's unfolding promise that the kingship would come through the tribe of Judah.
