Contextual Overview

40 The seventh lot belonged to the tribe of Dan by its clans. 41 Their assigned land included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, 42 Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43 Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44 Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, 45 Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, 46 the waters of Jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory in front of Joppa. 47 (The Danites failed to conquer their territory, so they went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. They put the sword to it, took possession of it, and lived in it. They renamed it Dan after their ancestor.) 48 This was the land assigned to the tribe of Dan by its clans, including these cities and their towns.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Thimnathah: Genesis 38:12, Judges 14:1, Judges 14:2, Timnath

Ekron: Ekron is placed by Eusebius between Ashdod and Jamnia, eastward; and probably the ruined village of Tookrair, mentioned by Dr. Richarson, situated on the top of a hill, and which he says seems to have been a place of considerable consequence, occupies its site. Joshua 15:45, 1 Samuel 5:10, Amos 1:8

Reciprocal: Joshua 15:11 - Ekron

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Elon,.... Of Elon no mention is made elsewhere;

and Thimnathah is a different place from Timnah in the tribe of Judah,

Joshua 15:10. Jerom s speaks of the Thamnitic country, so called from the village Thamna, which seems to be this;

and Ekron was one of the five principalities of the Philistines, and never possessed by the Israelites; it first fell by lot to the tribe of Judah, and afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, Joshua 15:45.

s De loc. Heb. fol. 88. E.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 43. Thimnathah — Probably the same as Timnah. Joshua 15:57.

Ekron — A well-known city of the Philistines and the metropolis of one of their five dynasties,
