15. The southern border started near Kiriath Jearim and went to the River of Nephtoah.

16. Then the border went down to the bottom of the hill near the valley of Ben Hinnom, north of Rephaim Valley. It continued down Hinnom Valley just south of the Jebusite city. Then the border went on to En Rogel.

17. There it turned north, went to En Shemesh, and then continued on to Geliloth. (Geliloth is near the Adummim Pass in the mountains.) The border went down to the Great Stone that was named for Bohan, the son of Reuben.

18. It continued to the northern part of Beth Arabah. Then the border went down into the Jordan Valley.
