Chislothtabor Called Chasalus by Eusebius and Jerome, and placed at the foot of mount Tabor, eight miles east of Diocesarea. Josh 19:22; Judg 4:6, Judg 4:12; Ps 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 Diocesarea; and the Debora or Daboura, mentioned by travellers as a village at the foot of mount Tabor. Josh 21:28, Dabareh, 1Chr 6:72

The lot Asher lay upon the coast of the great sea. We read of only one remarkable person of this tribe, and that was Anna, the prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, a widow of about four-score and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.

Luke 2:26-38


25
Helkath 2Sam 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 Josh 11:1, Josh 12:20


26
Misheal Situated, according to Eusebius, near mount Carmel, on the sea coast. Josh 21:30; 1Chr 6:74, Marshal

Cabul Supposed to be the same town which Josephus calls Χωβουλο, and which he says was situated near the sea side, near Ptolemais. 1Kgs 9:13


28
Rehob Josh 19:30

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, John 2:11, John 4:46, Cana

great Josh 11:8; Judg 1:31; Isa 23:2, Isa 23:4, Isa 23:12

Aznothtabor Apparently the same as Azanoth, which Eusebius places in the plain not far from Diocesarea or Sephoris. Josh 19:12, Josh 19:22

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.

Hammath Gen 10:18; Num 13:21, Num 34:8, Num 34:8; 1Kgs 8:65, Hamath

Bethanath Eusebius mentions a town of the name of Βαταναιαν, fifteen miles from Cesarea. (Diocesarea or Sephoris probably.)

Bethshemesh Josh 19:22


41
Zorah Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek. Josh 15:33, Zoreah, Judg 13:2, Judg 13:25, Judg 16:31, Judg 18:2; 1Chr 2:53; 2Chr 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 (Josh 21:16). Ir-shemesh rendered πολις Σαμμαυς by the LXX, seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary.


42
Shaalabbin Eusebius calls it Σαλαβα, and places it in Samaria, and Jerome calls it Salebi (Ezek 48:1-35), and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. Judg 1:35, Shaalbim

Ajalon This appears to be the Ajalon which Jerome places two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, in the road to Jerusalem. Josh 10:12, Josh 21:24; 1Sam 14:31


43
Thimnathah Gen 38:12; Judg 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. Josh 15:45; 1Sam 5:10; Amos 1:8
