It is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4:12, where it is listed among the descendants of Judah. The name itself, meaning "City of the Serpent," suggests a possible historical or cultural significance, potentially indicating a location associated with serpents or a symbolic representation of strength or cunning.

The mention in Chronicles places it within the context of the tribal allotments and genealogies, which were significant for establishing tribal identities and inheritance rights in ancient Israel.
