“And they of the south shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the plain the Philistines: and they shall possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.”
The promise that those of the Negeb shall possess the mount of Esau and those of the Shephelah the land of the Philistines and possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria and Benjamin shall possess Gilead indicates the expansion of Judah's territory to encompass surrounding lands. The restoration includes territorial expansion beyond the pre-exile boundaries.
