Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Zelaheath,.... Zelah was the buryingplace of Saul and his family, 2 Samuel 21:14.
Eleph is nowhere else mentioned; some join it with Zelah, and make one city of it, but then the number of cities given could not be completed; both Jarchi and Kimchi say they were two cities, as doubtless they were;
and Jebusi, which [is] Jerusalem; of Jerusalem being called Jebusi, see Joshua 15:63; it belonged partly to the tribe of Judah, and partly to the tribe of Benjamin; Mount Zion belonged to Judah, and Moriah to Benjamin;
Gibeath was a distinct city both from Gaba and Gibeon; by its being mentioned with Jerusalem, it should seem to be near it. Jerom y speaks of Gabaatha in the tribe of Benjamin, twelve miles from Eleutheropolis, where the grave of the Prophet Habakkuk was shown;
[and] Kirjath signifies a city, but what city is meant is not known:
fourteen cities with their villages; and just so many are mentioned by name:
this [is] the inheritance of the children of Benjamin according to their families; these cities, with others perhaps not mentioned, were allotted to the tribe of Benjamin for their families to dwell in.
y De loc. Heb. fol. 92. C.
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Joshua 18:28. And Zelah — This was the burying-place of Saul, Jonathan, and the family of Kish. See 2 Samuel 21:14.
Jebusi, which is Jerusalem — We often meet with this name, and it is evident that it was the ancient name of Jerusalem, which was also called Salem; and was probably the place in which Melchizedek reigned in the days of Abraham; though some think a different place is meant; for that there was another place of the same name, is evident from John 3:23. This place, called Salim by the evangelist, is said to be near to Enon, and there John baptized, because there was much water in the place. This, however, must not be confounded with the Salem mentioned above; for that this was a name of Jerusalem, is evident from Psalms 76:1-2: In Judah is God known: his name is great in Israel. In SALEM also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling-place in Zion. This must refer to Jerusalem, where the temple was situated. Whether Jebus or Jebusi had its name from the Jebusites, or the Jebusites from it, cannot be ascertained.
