Joshua 19:40-48
40 Zorah.Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek. 15:33Zoreah.Jud 13:2,25; 16:31; 18:2; 1Ch 2:53; 2Ch 11:10Irshemesh.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. Shaalabbin.Eusebius calls it [Salaba,] and places it in Samaria: and Jerome calls it Salebi, (Eze 48,) and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. Jud 1:35Shaalbim. 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; 1Sa 14:31 Thimnathah.Ge 38:12; Jud 14:1,2Timnath. 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; 1Sa 5:10; Am 1:8 Gibbethon.21:23; 1Ki 15:27; 16:15Baalath.1Ki 9:18 Gath-rimmon.21:24 before. or, over against.
