Jabin <02985> [Jabin.]
coalition <07971> [he sent.]
Madon <04068> [Madon.]
The LXX. read [Mar¢n,] which, if legitimate, Calmet thinks may be the same as Maronia or Marath, in Phoenicia, to the north of mount Lebanon, ch. 12:19, 20; 19:15, 25.
Shimron <08110> [Shimron.]
Supposed to be the same with Symira, in Coele-Syria, joined to Maron or Marath by Pliny and Pomponius Mela.
Acshaph <0407> [Achshaph.]
Supposed by some to be the same as Achzib or Ecdippa; from which, however, it is distinguished in ch. 19:25, 29. It was in the northern part of the tribe of Asher.
Joshua 11:10
Hazor ........... Hazor <02674> [Hazor.]
Joshua 11:13
mounds <08510> [in their. Heb. on their heap.]
The Vulgate, Syriac, Onkelos and Waterland render {Æ’l tillom,} "on their hills." As the cities of the plain might be easily attacked and carried, Joshua destroyed them; but as those on mountains, hills, or other eminences, might be retained by him with little trouble, prudence would dictate their preservation.
Joshua 12:19
Madon <04068> [Madon.]
Hazor <02674> [Hazor.]
