Joshua 15:35 Meaning and Explanation

The catalog names Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah. Adullam would become the cave where David gathered the distressed and the indebted around him; Socoh and Azekah would frame the valley where he met Goliath.

These quiet towns would later host some of the great moments of God's dealings with David. The map drawn here becomes the very ground of deliverance and refuge in days to come. The places God assigns His people often hold purposes far beyond what the first generation could see.
