Debir.Jos 10:3,38; 12:13; 15:49 Ashan.It is probable that either Ain, in Joshua, is a mistake for Ashan, or that it was called by both names. 4:32; Jos 15:42; 21:16Ain.

None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.
