Joshua 15:30 includes Eltolad and Hormah in Judah's allotment, showing overlap between Simeon's and Judah's territories.

1 Chronicles 4:30 continues the same list, repeating Bethuel and Hormah from the tribal genealogy.

Judges 1:17 explains the origin of Hormah's name—it was formerly Zephath, devoted to destruction—adding narrative to the town list.

1 Samuel 30:30 again lists Hormah in David's distribution, reinforcing its significance as a Negev settlement.
