Ijon: Probably the same as Hazar-enan, a frontier town to Damascus - Ezekiel 48:1, and perhaps the Inna of Coele-Syria, long. 68 degrees and a half, lat. 33 degrees, according to Ptolemy. 2 Kings 15:29

Dan: 1 Kings 12:29, Genesis 14:14, Judges 18:29, Abel-beth-maachah, 2 Samuel 20:14, 2 Samuel 20:15

Cinneroth: Joshua 11:2, Joshua 12:3

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 20:1 - Benhadad 1 Kings 20:34 - The cities 2 Chronicles 16:4 - Ijon Isaiah 9:1 - when

Gill's Notes on the Bible

So Benhadad hearkened unto King Asa, and sent the captains of the hosts which he had against the cities of Israel,.... He broke off his alliance with the king of Israel; and as he had a standing army, with proper officers, he sent them directly to take the cities of Israel:

and he smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali; places which lay on the northern part of Israel, the nearest to Syria. Ijon some place in the tribe of Naphtali, others in Asher; it seems to be on the extreme border of the land northward, as Dan also was; hence the phrase from Dan to Beersheba, i.e. from north to south. Abelbethmaachah is the same with Abelmaim, 2 Chronicles 16:4 which perhaps is the same with that Abela, placed by Jerome x between Damascus and Paneas, supposed to be the Enhydra of Pliny y. Cinneroth is the same with Gennesaret, a fruitful country in Galilee, from which is a sea or lake of that name, mentioned in the New Testament, and was in the tribe of Naphtali, the land of which was seized upon at this time.

x De loc. Heb. fol. 83. K. y Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 19.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Ijon is probably marked by the ruins called “Tel-Dibbin,” which are situated a few miles northwest of the site of Dan, in a fertile and beautiful little plain which bears the name of “Merj’ Ayun” or “meadow of fountains.” On Abel-beth-maachah, or Abel-maim (“Abel-on-the waters”) and Dan, see the marginal references

For Cinneroth or Genesareth see Joshua 11:2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 1 Kings 15:20. Ijon, and Dan, &c. — He appears to have attacked and taken those towns which constituted the principal strength of the kingdom of Israel.
