See the marginal references. There are many indications found in this and the next chapter that the text is in great disorder, and many of the places are still unknown.

Jos 18:14

And compassed the corner ... - Render "and turned on the west side southward."The meaning is, that at lower Beth-horon the northern boundary-line of Benjamin curved round and ran southward - Beth-horon being its extreme westerly point.

Jos 18:21

The "Valley of Keziz,"or "Emek-Keziz,"is perhaps the "Wady el Kaziz,"at no great distance east of Jerusalem.

Jos 18:22

Zemaraim, i. e. "two wooded hills,"is supposed to be the ruins called "Es-Sumrah,"on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho.

Jos 18:23

Ophrah (Jos 15:9 note), to be distinguished here and in 1Sa 13:17 from the Ophrah of Jdg 6:11, is probably the Ephrain of 2Ch 13:19, and the Ephraim of Joh 11:54. It is conjecturally identified with "Et-Taiyibeh,"on the road from Jerusalem to Bethel.

Jos 18:24

Gaba - This name, like Gibeah, Gibeon, etc. Jos 9:3, indicates a town placed on a hill, and occurs repeatedly in various forms in the topography of Palestine. Gaba is the Gibeah (if 1Sa 13:15-16; 1Sa 14:5, where the Hebrew has גבע Geba‛ , which is undoubtedly the correct reading throughout. The city was one of those assigned to the Levites Jos 21:17, and lay on the northern border of Judah. It is identified with the modern "Jeba,"lying on the side of a deep ravine opposite to Michmash ("Mukhmas"). The famous "Gibeah of Saul,"or "Giheah of Benjamin"(the Gibeath of Jos 18:28) lay at no great distance southwest of Geba, on the high road from Jerusalem to Bethel, and is probably to be looked for in the lofty and isolated "Tulcil-el-Ful."

Jos 18:25

Ramah - i. e. "lofty;"probably the native town and abode of Samuel 1Sa 1:19; 1Sa 25:1. Its exact site is uncertain.

Jos 18:26

Mizpeh - See Jos 11:3. Not the Mizpeh of Jos 15:38, but the place where Samuel judged the people and called them together for the election of a king 1Sa 7:5-16; 1Sa 10:17. In the Chaldaean times it was the residence of Gedaliah 2Ki 25:22; Jer 40:14. Its site is identified with "Neby Samwil,"about five miles northwest of Jerusalem.

Gill: Jos 18:13 - -- And the border went over from thence towards Luz,.... From Bethaven, where the northern border ended, the western began, and went on to Luz: to the...

And the border went over from thence towards Luz,.... From Bethaven, where the northern border ended, the western began, and went on to Luz:

to the side of Luz, which is Bethel, southward; that is, passed along, leaving that city to the south, which formerly was called Luz, but now Bethel, which though distinct places formerly, yet being very near, might in process of time be joined; See Gill on Jos 16:2,

and the border descended to Atarothadar, the same with Archiataroth; see Gill on Jos 16:2, and See Gill on Jos 16:5,

near the hill that lieth on the south side of the nether Bethhoron; so called to distinguish it from Bethhoron the upper, situated on an hill or mountain, Jos 16:5; this was rebuilt by Solomon, 1Ki 9:17.
