Commentary
Commentary on Joshua 19:27
Theological / DevotionalBeth-dagon. From Shihor-libnath the border turned east to Beth-dagon. The site of Beth-dagon is unknown, but the name indicates the widespread worship of Dagon, the god of the Philistines, an ancient Canaanite deity.
Jiphthah-el. See on v. 14.
Cabul on the left hand. This is understood by some translators as “north to Cabul”; by others as “Cabul on the north.” This is the town of Cabul; it is not to be confused with the land of Cabul (1 Kings 9:11-13), which Solomon gave to Hiram. If the verse is describing the east border, Cabul would form the northeast corner, from where the boundary would turn in the direction of Sidon (see Joshua 19:28). Josephus speaks of a Choboulo in his day as being by the seaside, and near to Ptolemai's (War iii. c. 4).
