Commentary

Commentary on Judges 2:9

Theological / Devotional

In Timnath-heres. Literally, “portion of the sun.” In Joshua 19:50 and 24:30, Timnath-serah, “extra portion” (first and last letters of the second part transposed). It cannot be definitely known which represents the correct spelling. The town was named Timnath, and because it was situated in a mountainous section known as Heres (see Judges 1:35), it is thought that the latter name may have been added to keep it from being confused with other towns named Timnath. The place is now called Khirbet Tibneh and is 9 3/4 mi. (15.6 km.) northwest of Bethel in the central highlands.
