Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Helkath: 2 Samuel 2:16
Beten: Probably the same as Bebeten or Batnai, mentioned by Eusebius, eight miles east from Ptolemais; and perhaps the Ecbatana which Pliny places not far from Ptolemais.
Achshaph: Joshua 11:1, Joshua 12:20
Reciprocal: Joshua 21:30 - Mishal 1 Chronicles 6:75 - Hukok
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And their border was Helkath,.... Helkath seems to be the same with Hukok, 1 Chronicles 6:75; and according to Masius it lay ten or twelve miles above Ptolemais;
and Hali, of which we read nowhere else.
and Beten is by Jerom h called Bathne, and was in his time a village by the name of Bethebem, eight miles from Ptolemais to the east. Reland i seems to think it might be the Ecbatana of Pliny k, which he speaks of as near Mount Carmel, and not far from Ptolemais;
and Achshaph was a royal city, whose king was taken by Joshua,
1 Chronicles 6:75- :.
h De loc. Heb. fol. 89. H. i Palestin. Illustrat. tom. 2. p. 617. k Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 19.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Helkath, a Levitical town Joshua 21:31, is probably Yerka, a village about seven or eight miles north-west of Acre, in a Wady of the same name. Alammelech was in the “Wady Melik,” which joins the Kishon from the northeast, not far from the sea.
Shihor-libnath - i. e. “black-white.” The two words are now generally admitted to be the name of a river, probably the modern “Nahr Zerka,” or Blue River, which reaches the sea about 8 miles south of Dor, and whose name has a correspondence both to black and white. Possibly we have in the occurrence of the term Shihor here a trace of the contact, which was close and continuous in ancient times, between Phoenicia and Egypt Joshua 13:3. Cabul Joshua 19:27 still retains its ancient name; it lies between four and five miles west of Jotapata and about ten miles southeast of Acre.
