And there: 2 Samuel 14:6, *marg. Psalms 7:2, Psalms 50:22, Daniel 3:15-17

far from: Probably the people of Laish were originally a colony of the Zidonians; who being an opulent people, and in possession of a strong city, lived in a state of security, not being afraid of their neighbours. In this the Leshemites imitated them, though they appear not to have had the same reason for their confidence; and though they might naturally expect help from their countrymen, yet as they lived at a considerable distance from Sidon, the Danites saw they could strike the blow before the news of the invasion could reach that city. Judges 18:1, Judges 18:7, Joshua 11:8, Isaiah 23:4, Isaiah 23:12

Bethrehob: Numbers 13:21, Rehob, 2 Samuel 10:6

Reciprocal: 2 Samuel 24:6 - Zidon 2 Chronicles 16:4 - Dan Jeremiah 49:31 - which dwell 1 Thessalonians 5:3 - Peace

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon,.... Under whose government and protection they seem to have been; and that city being at a distance from them, and the Danites coming upon them suddenly, there was no time to send to them for help, or any to come in to their assistance, and save them from their enemies, see

Judges 18:7

and they had no business with any man; that could have given them notice of the design of the children of Dan against them, nor to the Zidonians to come soon enough for their protection and defence; none there were in alliance with them except them:

and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob; which lay in the northern border of the land of Canaan, as you go to Hamath of Syria,

Judges 18:7- :.

and they built a city to dwell there; not a new one altogether, but they rebuilt and enlarged Laish, and made it convenient for them to dwell in.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Rehob (as Dan afterward) is mentioned as the northernmost point of the land of Canaan Numbers 13:21, and its position is defined with reference to the entering in of Hamath.

A city - Rather, “the” city. They rebuilt Laish, which they had burned down Judges 18:29.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Judges 18:28. There was no deliverer — They had no succour, because the Sidonians, from whom they might have expected it, were at too great a distance.
