Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Bethhoron: Eusebius says that the two Beth-horons were twelve miles from Jerusalem, towards Nicopolis or Emmaus: of which the one, called upper Beth-horon, from its situation, was built - rebuilt by Solomon, and the other, called nether Beth-horon, was given to the Levites. Josephus places Beth-oron about 100 furlongs from Jerusalem. Dr. Clarke mentions an Arab village called Bethoor, about twelve miles from Jerusalem, a small distance from Rama, which he supposes, from its situation on a hill, to be Beth-horon the upper. Joshua 18:13, 1 Kings 9:15-17, 1 Chronicles 7:24, 1 Chronicles 7:28, 2 Chronicles 8:5

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And goeth down westward to the coast of Japhleti,.... This place is now unknown, though no doubt well known to the sons of Joseph, when this lot fell to them, and its border was described:

unto the coast of Bethhoron the nether: so called to distinguish it from Bethhoron the upper, Joshua 16:5; this was about twelve miles from Jerusalem; Joshua 16:5- :; and to Gezer: which was about a day's journey from Bethhoron, as appears from the passages in the Apocrypha:

"39 So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him. 40 But Judas pitched in Adasa with three thousand men, and there he prayed, saying, ... 45 Then they pursued after them a day's journey, from Adasa unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their trumpets.'' (1 Maccabees 7)

Jerom c says in his time it was a village called Gazara, four miles from Nicopolis, or Emmaus. It is the same with Gadara, as it is sometimes called by Josephus, who says d, the tribe of Ephraim took in the land from the river Jordan to Gadara; this was a royal city; see

Joshua 10:33;

and the outgoings thereof are at the sea: the Mediterranean sea.

c De loc. Heb. fol. 92. A. d Antiqu. l. 5. c. 1. sect. 22.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Of Japhleti - Rather “of the Japhletite.” All history of the name is lost.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 16:3. Beth-horon the nether — This city was about twelve miles from Jerusalem, on the side of Nicopolis, formerly Emmaus. - CALMET. Joshua 10:10.
