Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Manasseh had in Issachar, and in Asher, Bethshean, and her towns,.... As Ephraim had cities in Manasseh, so had Manasseh cities in these two tribes, which in some parts bordered on it, before described, even the cities following, and the first that is named is Bethshean: this lay in the tribe of Issachar, and was the uttermost border of Manasseh that way; it was, as Josephus m says, called Scythopolis; but not from the Scythians, as Pliny n suggests, but from Succoth, a place where Jacob resided, and which was not far from it, Genesis 33:17; it lay before the great plain of Jezreel, and was at the entrance into it,
"After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.'' (1 Maccabees 5:52)
and was six hundred furlongs, or seventy five miles, from Jerusalem, according to:
"From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem,'' (2 Maccabees 12:29)
and was one of the cities of Decapolis, from whence our Lord had hearers, Matthew 4:25. It was such a pleasant place, that it is said in the Talmud o, that if the garden of Eden was in the land of Israel, Bethshean was the gate of it; on which the gloss says, that its fruits were the sweetest in the land of Israel:
and Ibleam and her towns; it seems to be the same with Bileam, by a transposition of the two first letters, 1 Chronicles 6:70; and was a place not far from Megiddo, after mentioned, as appears from 2 Kings 9:27;
and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns; this had been a royal city,
2 Kings 9:27- : and
2 Kings 9:27- :;
and the inhabitants of Endor and her towns; this place became famous for a witch there in the times of Saul, 1 Samuel 28:7; in the times of Jerom p it was a large village near Mount Tabor, four miles to the south, which he calls Aeudor, of or in Jezreel; and elsewhere q he speaks of Endor, as near the town of Nain, where our Lord raised the widow's son the dead, and is about: Scythopolis:
and the inhabitants of Taanach and her towns; this had been a royal city, 1 Samuel 28:7- :;
and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her towns: this was another royal city mentioned with the former; 1 Samuel 28:7- :; there
[even] three countries; the three last cities, with their towns, that are mentioned, Endor, Taanach, and Megiddo; all which perhaps belonged to Dor, and may be the Naphothdor spoken of Joshua 11:2; where the same word is used as here; so Jarchi interprets it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Perhaps Beth-shean (in Issachar) and the other five towns (in Asher) were given to the Manassites in compensation for towns in the Manassite territory allotted to the Ephraimites. (See Joshua 17:9. Compare Joshua 21:9.) To the wall of Beth-shean, or Bethshah (âBeisan,â about 5 miles west of the Jordan), the bodies of Saul and his sons were fastened by the Philistines after the battle on Mount Gilboa. After the exile it received the Greek name of Scythopolis, perhaps because it was principally tenanted by a rude and pagan population, styled in contempt Scythians. It was a border city of Galilee, and the chief town of the Decapolis. In Christian times it was the see of a bishop, who is enumerated as present at Nicaea and other Councils of the Church.
Ibleam (Bileam, 1 Chronicles 6:70), perhaps âJelameh,â was a Levitical town (Joshua 21:25 note). Near this place Ahaziah was mortally wounded by Jehu (2 Kings 9:27), and fled to Megiddo, which was no doubt not far distant.
Three countries - Rather âthe three hills.â The district belonging to the last-mentioned three towns had a common name, derived no doubt from its natural features, and was called âthe three hills.â Compare Decapolis, Tripolis, etc.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 17:11. Beth-shean — Called afterwards Scythopolis; the city of the Scythians or Cuthites, those who were sent into the different Samaritan cities by the kings of Assyria.
Dor — On the Mediterranean Sea, about eight miles from Caesarea, on the road to Tyre.
En-dor — The well or fountain of Dor, the place where Saul went to consult the witch; 1 Samuel 28:7, &c.
