Contextual Overview

21 But, the Jebusites dwelling in Jerusalem, the sons of Benjamin did not drive out, - but the Jebusites have dwelt with the sons of Benjamin, in Jerusalem, unto this day. 22 Then went up the house of Joseph - they also, - unto Bethel, - and, Yahweh, was with them. 23 And the house of Joseph sent to spy out Bethel, - now, the name of the city, formerly, was, Luz. 24 So the watchers saw a man, coming forth from the city, - and they said unto him - Shew us, we pray thee, the way to get into the city, and we will deal with thee, in lovingkindness. 25 And he shewed them the way to get into the city, and they smote the city, with the edge of the sword, - but, the man and all his family, they let go. 26 And the man went into the land of the Hittites, - and built a city, and called the name thereof, Luz, that, is the name thereof, unto this day. 27 But Manasseh took not possession of Beth-shean and her towns, nor of Taanach and her towns, nor dispossessed the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Ibleam, and her towns, nor the inhabitants of Megiddo, and her towns, - but the Canaanites were determined to remain in this land; 28 when Israel, however, had waxed strong, they put the Canaanites under tribute, - though they, dispossessed, them not. 29 And, Ephraim, dispossessed not the Canaanites who were dwelling in Gezer, - so the Canaanites remained in their midst, in Gezer. 30 Zebulun, dispossessed not the inhabitants of Kitron, nor the inhabitants of Nahalol, - but the Canaanites remained in their midst, and came under tribute.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho,.... The same with Ptolemais, :-; so called from the first Ptolemy king of Egypt, who enlarged it; but it has since recovered its ancient name pretty nearly, and is now called Acca or Acra.

"On its north and east sides (Mr. Maundrell says w) it is encompassed with a spacious and fertile plain; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean sea; and on the south by a large bay, extending from the city as far as Mount Carmel:''

nor the inhabitants of Zidon; a well known city in Phoenicia, belonging to this tribe, see Joshua 19:28;

nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor of Rehob; two of these places, Ahlab and Helbah, are not mentioned among the cities of the tribe of Asher, Joshua 19:24; unless Helbah is the same with Helkath, Judges 1:25; of the rest, Achzib,

Judges 1:25- :, Aphik, and Rehob,

Judges 1:25- :.

w Journey from Aleppo, p. 54.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Compare the marginal reference. Accho, afterward called Ptolemais, now Akka or St. Jean d’Acre, is named here for the first time.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 1:31. Neither did Asher — See on Joshua 19:24-31.

Accho — Supposed to be the city of Ptolemais, near to Mount Carmel.
