Judges 1:34

34 artavitque Amorreus filios Dan in monte nec dedit eis locum ut ad planiora descenderent

Judges 1:34 Meaning and Commentary

Judges 1:34

And the Amorites forced the children of Dan into the
mountain
Into the mountainous part of the tribe of Dan; the most noted mountains in it were Sear and Baalah, which lay on the border of Judah, ( Joshua 15:10 Joshua 15:11 ) ; Joppa in this tribe was built on an high rock, and so Gibbethon, as its name seems to import, perhaps was built on a hill or mountain, as were the cities after mentioned:

for they would not suffer them to come down to the valley;
which lay between Joppa and Caesarea, the plain of Sharon, in which were Lydda, Jamnia which belonged to their tribe, and they afterwards enjoyed; (See Gill on Joshua 19:48).
