Bohan

BOHAN bō’ hǎn (בֹּ֖הַן, meaning uncertain; covering, closing or thumb have been suggested) A NE boundary marker stone between Judah and Benjamin near Jericho (Joshua 15:6; 18:17).

The presence of this stone of Bohan, who is called the son of Reuben, might imply that at one time descendants of the tribe of Reuben temporarily inhabited the NE corner of the territory of Judah before the final boundary settlements were made by Joshua.
