Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament the summit of a mountain, an elevated point of the lofty ridge between Wady Ghurâb and Ismail , south-west of Kureyet el Enab ( Rob. Bibl. Res. p. 154). Beth-shemesh (i.e., sun-house), a priests' city in the territory of Judah (Josh 21:16; 1 Chron 6:44), is the same as Ir-shemesh (Josh 19:41), a place on the border of Dan, where the ark was deposited by the Philistines (1 Sam 6:9ff.), and where Amaziah was slain by Joash (2 Kings 14:11-12; 2 Chron 25:21). It was conquered by the Philistines in the time of Ahaz (2 Chron 28:18). According to the Onom. it was ten Roman miles, i.e., four hours, from Eleutheropolis towards Nicopolis. It is the present Ain Shems , upon a plateau in a splendid situation, two hours and a half to the south-west of Kesla ( Rob. Pal. iii. p. 17; Bibl. Res. p. 153). Timnah , or Timnatah , belonged to Dan (Dan 19:43 ); and it was thence that Samson fetched his wife (Judg 14:1ff.). It is the present Tibneh , three-quarters of an hour to the west of Ain Shems ( Rob. Pal. i. p. 344). Verse 11-12. Thence "the border went out towards the north-west to the shoulder of Ekron ( Akir: see at Josh 13:3), then bent to Shichron, passed over to Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel." Shichron is possibly Sugheir , an hour to the south-west of Jebna ( Knobel ). But if this is correct, the mountain of Baalah cannot be the short range of hills to the west of Akir which runs almost parallel with the coast Rob. Pal. iii. p. 21), as Knobel supposes; but must be a mountain on the south side of the Wady Surar, since the boundary had already crossed this wady between Ekron and Shichron. Jabneel is the Philistine town of Jabneh , the walls of which were demolished by Uzziah (2 Chron 26:6), a place frequently mentioned in the books of Maccabees as well as by Josephus under the name of Jamnia. It still exists as a goodsized village, under the name of Jebnah , upon a small eminence on the western side of Nahr Rubin, four hours to the south of Joppa, and an hour and a half from the sea ( Rob. Pal. iii. p. 22). From Jabneh the boundary went out to the (Mediterranean) Sea, probably along the course of the great valley, i.e., the Nahr Rubin , as Robinson supposes (Pal. ii. p. 343). The western boundary was the Great Sea, i.e., the Mediterranean. Joshua 15:13-19 http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos91.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:18:33 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron. The account of the conquest of the inheritance, which Caleb asked for and received before the lots were cast for the land (Josh 14:6-15), by the extermination of the Anakites from Hebron, and the capture of the fortified town of Debir, is repeated with very slight differences in Judg 1:10-15, in the enumeration of the different conflicts in which the separate tribes engaged after the death of Joshua, in order to secure actual possession of the inheritance which had fallen to them by lot, and is neither copied from our book by the author of the book of Judges, nor taken from Judges by the author of Joshua; but both of them have drawn it from one common source, upon which the accounts of the conquest of Canaan contained in the book of Joshua are generally founded. Verse 13. As an introduction to the account of the conquest of Hebron and Debir, the fact that they gave Caleb his portion among the sons of Judah, namely Hebron, is first of all repeated from Josh 14:13. naatan (OT:5414) impers., they gave, i.e., Joshua (Josh 14:13). The words "according to the command of Jehovah to Joshua" are to be explained from Josh 14:9-12, according to which Jehovah had promised, in the hearing of Joshua, to give Caleb possession of the mountains of Hebron, even when they were at Kadesh (Josh 14:12). The "father of Anak" is the tribe father of the family of Anakites in Hebron, from whom this town received the name of Kirjatharba; see at Num 13:22 and Gen 23:2. Verse 14. Thence, i.e., out of Hebron, Caleb drove ( wayoresh (OT:3423), i.e., rooted out: cf. yakuw (OT:5221), Judg 1:10) the three sons of Anak, i.e., families of the Anakites, whom the spies that were sent out from Kadesh http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos91.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:18:33 p.m.]
