Historical accounts in the Bible sometimes contain parallel lists that record the same geographic locations. When comparing these distinct records, variations in the names of specific places occasionally appear.
In this registry, the city of Hukok is included among the designated towns. This location is understood to be the exact same place as the city of Helkath [רלב״ג]. The name Helkath appears in the corresponding list found in the Book of Joshua, confirming that both accounts refer to the same ancient settlement.
