Yehoshua 19:25 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 19:25

And their border was Helkath
Helkath seems to be the same with Hukok, ( 1 Chronicles 6:75 ) ; and according to Masius it lay ten or twelve miles above Ptolemais;

and Hali,
of which we read nowhere else.

and Beten
is by Jerom ^F8 called Bathne, and was in his time a village by the name of Bethebem, eight miles from Ptolemais to the east. Reland

FOOTNOTES:

F9 seems to think it might be the Ecbatana of Pliny ^F11, which he speaks of as near Mount Carmel, and not far from Ptolemais;

and Achshaph
was a royal city, whose king was taken by Joshua, (See Gill on Joshua 11:1).
