Study note
Setting — The Chronicler compiles a historical inventory of the Simeonite clan's settled towns.
The words — צִקְלָג (Tziqleg) closes the list, literally naming the town recorded among the tribal holdings.
The thread — The location reappears in 1 Samuel 27:6 when Achish grants it to David, in 1 Samuel 30:1 during the Amalekite raid, and in Nehemiah 11:28 among post-exilic cities.
Why it lands — The text demands the reader observe how tribal land allocations later function as royal property and restoration settlements.
