Joshua 12:21 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 12:21

The king of Taanach, one
It was in the tribe of Manasseh, ( Joshua 17:11 ) ; Jerom says F17, in his time it was a large village, distant from Legion on the plain of Esdraelon three miles:

the king of Megiddo, one;
which belonged to the same tribe, ( Joshua 17:11 ) ; near this place were some waters where the Canaanites fought with the Israelites, ( Judges 5:19 ) ; and a valley where Josiah was slain, ( 2 Chronicles 35:22 ) .
