I bieży taż granica kołem po bok morza ku południu, od góry która jest przeciw Betoron na południe i kończy się w Karjat-Baal, które jest Karjatjarym miasto synów Juda, a toć jest strona zachodnia.
Tam granica skręcała, po stronie zachodniej zawracała na południe, od góry, która leży naprzeciw Bet-Choron po południowej stronie, i dochodziła do Kiriat-Baal, to jest do Kiriat-Jearim, miasta potomków Judy. To była granica zachodnia.
Następnie granica skręca i po swojej zachodniej stronie zwraca się ku południowi, od góry położonej na południu, od Beth Horon, zabiegając ku Kirjath Baal, czyli do judzkiego miasta Kirjath Jearym. Taką jest strona zachodnia.
I bieży ta granica kołem po bok morza na południe od góry, która jest przeciw Betoron, na południe, i kończy się w Karyjat Baal, które jest Karyjat Jarym, miasto synów Judowych; a toć jest strona zachodnia.
Potem granica skręcała obok morza na południe od góry położonej naprzeciw Bet-Choron na południu, i kończyła się w Kiriat-Baal, czyli Kiriat-Jearim, mieście synów Judy. To jest strona zachodnia.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the border was drawn [thence],.... From Bethhoron:
and compassed the corner of the sea southward; it is hard to say what sea is meant, or what by it. Fuller k conjectures, that as the Hebrews call any confluence of water a sea, as we call such a "mere", the great waters in Gibeon may be meant, Jeremiah 41:12; for it cannot mean the Mediterranean sea, for Dan lay between Benjamin and that; and yet if a sea is meant, no other can be; wherefore it is best to render it the "west quarter", as it is in the latter part of this verse; and so the same word is translated, Joshua 18:12; the "west", and not the "sea", as it sometimes is; for the border of Benjamin did not reach the sea any where; though Josephus l makes it to extend to it, and says, that the length of it was from the river Jordan to the sea:
the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward; the hill that lay to the south of nether Bethhoron, as in Joshua 18:13:
and the goings out thereof, the end of the western coast,
were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah; of which see Joshua 15:9;
this [was] the west quarter; as thus described.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the marginal references. There are many indications found in this and the next chapter that the text is in great disorder, and many of the places are still unknown.
Joshua 18:14
And compassed the corner ... - Render âand turned on the west side southward.â The meaning is, that at lower Beth-horon the northern boundary-line of Benjamin curved round and ran southward - Beth-horon being its extreme westerly point.
Joshua 18:21
The âValley of Keziz,â or âEmek-Keziz,â is perhaps the âWady el Kaziz,â at no great distance east of Jerusalem.
Joshua 18:22
Zemaraim, i. e. âtwo wooded hills,â is supposed to be the ruins called âEs-Sumrah,â on the road from Jerusalem to Jericho.
Joshua 18:23
Ophrah (Joshua 15:9 note), to be distinguished here and in 1 Samuel 13:17 from the Ophrah of Judges 6:11, is probably the Ephrain of 2 Chronicles 13:19, and the Ephraim of John 11:54. It is conjecturally identified with âEt-Taiyibeh,â on the road from Jerusalem to Bethel.
Joshua 18:24
Gaba - This name, like Gibeah, Gibeon, etc. Joshua 9:3, indicates a town placed on a hill, and occurs repeatedly in various forms in the topography of Palestine. Gaba is the Gibeah (if 1 Samuel 13:15-16; 1 Samuel 14:5, where the Hebrew has ×××¢ Gebaâ, which is undoubtedly the correct reading throughout. The city was one of those assigned to the Levites Joshua 21:17, and lay on the northern border of Judah. It is identified with the modern âJeba,â lying on the side of a deep ravine opposite to Michmash (âMukhmasâ). The famous âGibeah of Saul,â or âGiheah of Benjaminâ (the Gibeath of Joshua 18:28) lay at no great distance southwest of Geba, on the high road from Jerusalem to Bethel, and is probably to be looked for in the lofty and isolated âTulcil-el-Ful.â
Joshua 18:25
Ramah - i. e. âlofty;â probably the native town and abode of Samuel 1Sa 1:19; 1 Samuel 25:1. Its exact site is uncertain.
Joshua 18:26
Mizpeh - See Joshua 11:3. Not the Mizpeh of Joshua 15:38, but the place where Samuel judged the people and called them together for the election of a king 1 Samuel 7:5-16; 1 Samuel 10:17. In the Chaldaean times it was the residence of Gedaliah 2 Kings 25:22; Jeremiah 40:14. Its site is identified with âNeby Samwil,â about five miles northwest of Jerusalem.
