Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
Birth, a city in the south of Judah which fell to Simeon (Josh. 15:21-26; 19:2). It has been identified with the modern el-Milh, 10 miles east of Beersheba.
Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
(birth, race), a city of Judah, one of those which lay in the district of “the south.” (Joshua 15:26; 19:2) In the latter tribe it remained at any rate till the reign of David, (1 Chronicles 4:28) but by the time of the captivity it seems to have come back into the hands of Judah, by whom it was reinhabited after the captivity. (Nehemiah 11:26) It may be placed at el-Milh, which is about 4 English miles from Tell Arad, 17 or 18 from Hebron,
and 9 or 10 due east of Beersheba.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898) & Schaff's Bible Dictionary
MOL'ADAH (birth), a city in the South of Judah, Josh 15:21-26; given to Simeon, and occupied by Shimei, Josh 19:2; 1 Chr 4:28; settled after the Captivity, Neh 11:26. Probably el-Milh, 10 miles east of Beersheba, marks the site of ancient Moladah. There are ruins of a fortified town, two wells, one with water at the depth of 40 feet; and the wells are surrounded with marble troughs. Arab tradition says that Abraham dug these wells and watered his
flocks here.
