From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The inheritance of the tribe of Judah is described first by its general boundaries on all four sidesJoshua 15:1-12; then reference is again made, for the sake of completeness, to the special inheritance of Caleb which lay within these boundariesJoshua 15:13-20; and lastly a list of the towns is givenJoshua 15:21-63. Consult the marginal references.
