Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Iron,.... Of Iron no mention is made elsewhere;
and Migdalel, which Jerom calls Magdiel, he says m was shown a small village, five miles from Dara, as you go to Ptolemais;
and Horem is not mentioned anywhere elsewhere;
and Bethanath; Jerom also relates n, that Bathana, in the tribe of Naphtali, was a village that went by the name of Betbanes, fifteen miles from Caesarea;
and Bethshemesh was another city, in which was a temple dedicated to the sun, when inhabited by the Canaanites; see Joshua 19:22; and so in Bethanath there might be a temple dedicated to some deity, though now uncertain what:
nineteen cities with their villages; there are more mentioned, but some of them might be only boundaries, and so belonged to another tribe.
m De loc. Heb. fol. 93. L. n Ibid. fol. 89. H.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The number of the fortified cities of Naphtali is remarkable, though it does not tally with the catalogue. It was no doubt good policy to protect the northern frontier by a belt of fortresses, as the south was protected by the fenced cities of Judah. Hammath, a Levitical city (compare Joshua 21:32; 1 Chronicles 6:76), is not to be confounded with the Hamath on the northeastern frontier of the land Numbers 13:21. The name (from a root signifying âto be warmâ) probably indicates that hot springs existed here; and is perhaps rightly traced in Ammaus, near Tiberias. Rakkath was, according to the rabbis, rebuilt by Herod and called Tiberias. The name (âbank, shoreâ) suits the site of Tiberias very well. Migdal-el, perhaps the Magdala of Matthew 15:39, is now the miserable village of âEl Mejdel.â
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 38. Nineteen cities — But if these cities be separately enumerated they amount to twenty-three; this is probably occasioned by reckoning frontier cities belonging to other tribes, which are only mentioned here as the boundaries of the tribe. Joshua 19:30.
