Exegesis
After the names, the summary phrase arim {עָרִ֥ים | ʿā-rîm} ‘towns’ is quantified by the compound numeral arba-esreh {אַרְבַּֽע־עֶשְׂרֵ֖ה | ʾar-baʿ-ʿeś-rêh} ‘fourteen’, a common Hebrew numbering pattern where the total follows the category.
In context — Joshua 15:36
Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim—fourteen towns and their villages .
