Judges 1:31
Asher <0836> [Asher.]
Acco <05910> [Accho.]
Accho, the Ptolemais of the Greeks and Romans, and called Saint John of Acre by the Crusaders, is situated on the Mediterranean, in a fine plain, at the north angle of a bay to which it gives name, and which extends in a semicircle of three leagues as far as Carmel, and nine leagues from Tyre.
Sidon <06721> [Zidon.]
Another celebrated city of Phoenicia, now SaidÅ , situated in a fine country on the Mediterranean, 400 stadia from Berytus, and 200 (north) from Tyre, according to Strabo, one day's journey from Paneas, according to Josephus, and sixty-six miles from Damascus, according to Abulfeda.
Aczib <0392> [Achzib.]
Or, Ecdippa, now Zib, nine miles north, from Accho.
Judges 18:28
rescue <05337> [And there.]
far ... Sidon <07350 06721> [far from.]
Probably the people of Laish were originally a colony of the Zidonians; who being an opulent people, and in possession of a strong city, lived in a state of security, not being afraid of their neighbours. In this the Leshemites imitated them, though they appear not to have had the same reason for their confidence; and though they might naturally expect help from their countrymen, yet as they lived at a considerable distance from Sidon, the Danites saw they could strike the blow before the news of the invasion could reach that city.
Beth Rehob <01050> [Beth-rehob.]
[Rehob.]
Judges 10:6
did evil <06213 07451> [A.M. 2817. B.C. 1187. An. Ex. Is. 304. did evil.]
Baals <01168> [A.M. 2799. B.C. 1205. An. Ex. Is. 286. Baalim.]
gods .... Sidon <06721 0430> [the gods of Zidon.]
gods .......... Philistines <06430 0430> [the gods of the Philistines.]
Judges 18:7
Laish <03919> [Laish.]
[called Leshem. how they.]
conqueror <03423> [magistrate. Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraint.]
dealings <01697> [and had no.]
In the most correct copies of the LXX. this clause stands thus; [kai logos ouk en autois meta Syrias;] "and they had no transactions with Syria;" evidently reading instead of ['ƒdƒm <\\See definition 0120\\>] {adam,} man, ['Arƒm <\\See definition 0758\\>] {aram,} Syria; words so nearly similar that the only difference between them is in the [Rˆysh,] {raish,} and [Dƒleth,] daleth, which in both MSS. and printed books is sometimes indiscernible. Laish was situated on the frontiers of Syria.
