Amam,.... Of Amam we read nowhere else: and Shema is thought by some to be the same with Sheba, though wrongly, given afterwards to the tribe of Simeon, as was also Moladah, mentioned with it, Jos 19:2, and Moladah; it is also spoken of in Ch1 4:28, and seems to be the same with Malathi or Malatis, about twenty miles from Hebron (f).
