Gill's Notes on the Bible

And turneth towards the sunrising,.... Or eastward,

to Bethdagon; there was a city of this name in the tribe of Judah,

:-. Dagon, being a god of the Phoenicians, had temples built for him in various places in Canaan:

and reacheth to Zebulun; not the tribe of Zebulun, but a city so called, the same Josephus o calls a strong city of Galilee, which had the name of Men, perhaps from the populousness of it, and separated Ptolemais from Judea;

and to the valley of Jiphthahel; see Joshua 19:14;

toward the north side of Bethemek; of Bethemek no mention is made elsewhere: perhaps here was an idol temple before dedicated to the god of the valleys; see 1 Kings 20:28;

and Neiel; which the Greek version calls Inael, of which Jerom says p, it is a certain village called Betoaenea, fifteen miles from Caesarea, situated on a mountain to the east, on which are said to be wholesome baths:

and goeth out to Cabul on the left hand; not the land of Cabul, 1 Kings 9:13; but a city, which Josephus q calls a village on the borders of Ptolemais. The Jews r speak of a city of this name, destroyed because of contentions in it.

o De Bello Jud. l. 2. c. 18. sect. 9. p De loc. Heb. fol. 88. I. q Vita ejus, sect. 43. r Echa Rabbati, fol. 75. 4.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 27. Cabul on the left hand — That is, to the north of Cabul, for so the left hand, when referring to place, is understood among the Hebrews.

We must not confound this town or Cabul with the twenty cities given by Solomon to Hiram, with which he was displeased, and which in contempt he called the land of Cabul, the dirty or paltry land, 1 Kings 9:11-13: there was evidently a town of this name, widely different from the land so called, long before the time of Solomon, and therefore this cannot be adduced as an argument that the book of Joshua was written after the days of David. The town in question is supposed to be the same which Josephus in his Life calls χωβουλω Choboulo, and which he says was situated by the sea-side, and nigh to Ptolemais. De Bell. Jud., lib. iii., c. 4.
