15 Benjamin's southern border started at the edge of Kiriath-Jearim and went east to the ruins[a] and on to Nephtoah Spring. 16 From there it went to the bottom of the hill at the northern end of Rephaim Valley. The other side of this hill faces Hinnom Valley, which is on the land that slopes south from Jerusalem.[b] The border went down through Hinnom Valley until it reached Enrogel.
