Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Japho (the modern Jaffa, or Yafa), elsewhere (see the margin) called Joppa, is often mentioned in the history of the Maccabees and was, as it still is, the leading port of access to Jerusalem both for pilgrims and for merchandise. It is a very ancient town.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 19:46. Japho. — The place since called Joppa, lying on the Mediterranean, and the chief sea-port, in the possession of the twelve tribes.
