<strong>Keil</strong> and <strong>Delitzsch</strong> <str<strong>on</strong>g>Commentary</str<strong>on</strong>g> <strong>on</strong> the Old Testament<br />
<br />
the summit of a mountain, an elevated point of the lofty ridge between Wady Ghurâb<br />
and Ismail , south-west of Kureyet el Enab ( Rob. Bibl. Res. p. 154). Beth-shemesh<br />
(i.e., sun-house), a priests' city in the territory of Judah (Josh 21:16; 1 Chr<strong>on</strong> 6:44), is<br />
the same as Ir-shemesh (Josh 19:41), a place <strong>on</strong> the border of Dan, where the ark was<br />
deposited by the Philistines (1 Sam 6:9ff.), and where Amaziah was slain by Joash (2<br />
Kings 14:11-12; 2 Chr<strong>on</strong> 25:21). It was c<strong>on</strong>quered by the Philistines in the time of<br />
Ahaz (2 Chr<strong>on</strong> 28:18). According to the Onom. it was ten Roman miles, i.e., four<br />
hours, from Eleutheropolis towards Nicopolis. It is the present Ain Shems , up<strong>on</strong> a<br />
plateau in a splendid situati<strong>on</strong>, two hours and a half to the south-west of Kesla ( Rob.<br />
Pal. iii. p. 17; Bibl. Res. p.<br />
153). Timnah , or Timnatah , bel<strong>on</strong>ged to Dan (Dan 19:43 ); and it was thence that<br />
Sams<strong>on</strong> fetched his wife (Judg 14:1ff.). It is the present Tibneh , three-quarters of an<br />
hour to the west of Ain Shems ( Rob. Pal. i. p. 344).<br />
Verse 11-12. Thence "the border went out towards the north-west to the shoulder of<br />
Ekr<strong>on</strong> ( Akir: see at Josh 13:3), then bent to Shichr<strong>on</strong>, passed over to Mount Baalah,<br />
and went out to Jabneel." Shichr<strong>on</strong> is possibly Sugheir , an hour to the south-west of<br />
Jebna ( Knobel ). But if this is correct, the mountain of Baalah cannot be the short<br />
range of hills to the west of Akir which runs almost parallel with the coast Rob. Pal.<br />
iii. p. 21), as Knobel supposes; but must be a mountain <strong>on</strong> the south side of the Wady<br />
Surar, since the boundary had already crossed this wady between Ekr<strong>on</strong> and<br />
Shichr<strong>on</strong>. Jabneel is the Philistine town of Jabneh , the walls of which were<br />
demolished by Uzziah (2 Chr<strong>on</strong> 26:6), a place frequently menti<strong>on</strong>ed in the books of<br />
Maccabees as well as by Josephus under the name of Jamnia. It still exists as a goodsized<br />
village, under the name of Jebnah , up<strong>on</strong> a small eminence <strong>on</strong> the western side<br />
of Nahr Rubin, four hours to the south of Joppa, and an hour and a half from the sea (<br />
Rob. Pal. iii. p. 22). From Jabneh the boundary went out to the (Mediterranean) Sea,<br />
probably al<strong>on</strong>g the course of the great valley, i.e., the Nahr Rubin , as Robins<strong>on</strong><br />
supposes (Pal. ii. p. 343). The western boundary was the Great Sea, i.e., the<br />
Mediterranean.<br />
