Out of the portion of the children of Judah was the inheritance of the children of Simeon: for the part of the children of Judah was too much for them: therefore the children of Simeon had their inheritance within the inheritance of them.

And their border went up toward the sea, and Maralah, and reached to Dabbasheth, and reached to the river that is before Jokneam;

the river

The river Kishon, which empties itself into the Mediterranean near mount Carmel, in the vicinity of which Jokneam was situated.

Verse 12

And turned from Sarid eastward toward the sunrising unto the border of Chislothtabor, and then goeth out to Daberath, and goeth up to Japhia,

Chisloth-tabor

Called Chasalus by Eusebius and Jerome, and placed at the foot of mount Tabor, eight miles east of DiocÊsarea.

22 Judges 4:6,12 Psalms 89:12

Daberath

Josephus, who calls this town Dabaritta, or Darabitta, places it in the plain of Jezreel, or Esdraelon, on the confines of Samaria and Galilee. It is probably the Dabira which Jerome place towards amount Tabor, in the district of DiocÊsarea; and the Debora or Daboura, mentioned by travellers as a village at the foot of mount Tabor.

21:28

Dabareh

1 Chronicles 6:72

Japhia

Probably Japha, a city of Galilee, near Jotapata, mentioned by Josephus.

And from thence passeth on along on the east to Gittahhepher, to Ittahkazin, and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah;

Gittah-hepher

Placed by Jerome two miles from Sephoris, or DiocÊsarea, towards Tiberias.

Jezreel

Chesulloth

Probably the same as Chisloth-tabor.

Shunem

1 Samuel 28:4 1 Kings 1:3 2:17,21 2 Kings 4:8,12

And Hapharaim, and Shion, and Anaharath,

Luke 2:26-38

And their border was Helkath, and Hali, and Beten, and Achshaph,

Helkath

2 Samuel 2:16

Beten

Probably the same as Bebeten or Batnai, mentioned by Eusebius, eight miles east from Ptolemais; and perhaps the Ecbatana which Pliny places not far from Ptolemais.

Achshaph

11:1 12:20

And Alammelech, and Amad, and Misheal; and reacheth to Carmel westward, and to Shihorlibnath;

Misheal

Situated, according to Eusebius, near mount Carmel, on the sea coast.

Beth-dagon

1 Samuel 5:2

Zebulun

Situated on the sea coast, near Ptolemais.

valley

Cabul

Supposed to be the same town which Josephus calls [Choboulo] and which he says was situated near the sea side, near Ptolemais.

1 Kings 9:13

And Hebron, and Rehob, and Hammon, and Kanah, even unto great Zidon;

Rehob

Kanah

This seems a different Cana from that in Lower Galilee; and to be that which is placed in some maps east of Tyre, between Libanus and Antilibanus, and south of the river Cassimer, or Leitani.

John 2:1,11 4:46

11:8 Judges 1:31 Isaiah 23:2,4,12

And then the coast turneth to Ramah, and to the strong city Tyre; and the coast turneth to Hosah; and the outgoings thereof are at the sea from the coast to Achzib:

Ramah

Probably the Rama mentioned by Theodoret as a city of Syria; and placed in some maps between Sarepta and Sidon, eastward, near Lebanon.

Tyre

Heb. Tzor.

Aphek

12:18 13:4 1 Samuel 4:1 1 Kings 20:30

Rehob

28 21:31 Numbers 13:11

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

Genesis 49:20 Deuteronomy 33:24,25

And their coast was from Heleph, from Allon to Zaanannim, and Adami, Nekeb, and Jabneel, unto Lakum; and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan:

Zaanannim

Zaanaim

Verse 34

And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor, and goeth out from thence to Hukkok, and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side, and to Judah upon Jordan toward the sunrising.

turneth

Deuteronomy 33:23

Aznoth-tabor

Apparently the same as Azanoth, which Eusebius places in the plain not far from DiocÊsarea or Sephoris.

12,22

Judah

As it is certain that the tribe of Naphtali did not border upon that of Judah, there being several tribes between, we should probably omit Judah, with the Septuagint; though it may have been a town so called.

And the fenced cities are Ziddim, Zer, and Hammath, Rakkath, and Chinnereth,

Hammath

Genesis 10:18 Numbers 13:21 34:8 34:8 1 Kings 8:65

Hamath

Chinnereth.

And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

Beth-anath

Eusebius mentions a town of the name of [Batanaian] fifteen miles from CÊsarea. (DiocÊsarea or Sephoris probably.)

Beth-shemesh

Verse 41

And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,

Zorah

Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek.

15:33

Zoreah

Judges 13:2,25 16:31 18:2 1 Chronicles 2:53 2 Chronicles 11:10

Irshemesh

Supposed by some to be the same as Beth-shemesh in the tribe of Judah; but this latter city is evidently distinguished from it by being assigned by the tribe of Judah to the Levites. (ch. 21:16.) Ir-shemesh rendered [polis Sammaus] by the LXX., seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary.

And Shaalabbin, and Ajalon, and Jethlah,

Shaalabbin

Eusebius calls it [Salaba] and places it in Samaria: and Jerome calls it Salebi, (Eze 48,) and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus.

Judges 1:35

Shaalbim

Ajalon. This appears to be the Ajalon which Jerome places two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, in the road to Jerusalem.

10:12 21:24 1 Samuel 14:31

And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,

Thimnathah

Genesis 38:12 Judges 14:1,2

Timnath

Ekron. Ekron is placed by Eusebius between Ashdod and Jamnia, eastward; and probably the ruined village of Tookrair, mentioned by Dr. Richarson, situated on the top of a hill, and which he says seems to have been a place of considerable consequence, occupies its site.

15:45 1 Samuel 5:10 Amos 1:8

21:24

And Mejarkon, and Rakkon, with the border before Japho.

or, over against. Japho. or, Joppa.

Jonah 1:3 Acts 9:36,43 10:8

And the coast of the children of Dan went out too little for them: therefore the children of Dan went up to fight against Leshem, and took it, and smote it with the edge of the sword, and possessed it, and dwelt therein, and called Leshem, Dan, after the name of Dan their father.

Verse 49

When they had made an end of dividing the land for inheritance by their coasts, the children of Israel gave an inheritance to Joshua the son of Nun among them:

Ezekiel 45:7,8

According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, even Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

Timnath-serah

24:30 Judges 2:9

Timnath-heres

1 Chronicles 7:24

These are the inheritances, which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel, divided for an inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. So they made an end of dividing the country.
