Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 15:63

Ver. 63. As for the Jebusites—the children of Judah could not drive them out— The children of Judah remained in the city, and the Jebusites in the citadel, on mount Sion, till David forced the latter to quit the place, 2 Samuel 5:6-7. REFLECTIONS.—In Judah's lot alone lay a hundred and fourteen cities. No mention is made of Bethlehem, though so distinguished in after-times; it seems not to have been yet built, or to have been among the villages. Some also of these cities they never possessed;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 15:1-63

3. Judah’s inheritance ch. 15The tribe of Judah probably received first consideration in the text, because it was this tribe that had received Jacob’s special patriarchal blessing. It was also the largest tribe.Ancient Near Easterners used natural landmarks (rivers, mountains, deserts, towns, etc.) to construct borders as well as artificial boundaries that they made by drawing lines between sites. Virtually all nations have used these methods, and they are still common today.Judah was the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 15:63

Even though the Israelites defeated the king of Jerusalem (Joshua 10:1-27), they were not able to exterminate the Jebusites who lived there. This city remained an island of Canaanite domination on the northern border of Judah. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Joshua 15:63

(63) Could not drive them out.—It is observable that the failure of the three great tribes of Judah and Joseph (Ephraim and Manasseh) to clear the inheritance assigned to them is specially noticed in the Book of Joshua—viz., Judah in this place, and Ephraim and Manasseh in Joshua 16:10; Joshua 17:11-12.

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Joshua 15:1-63

CHAPTER XXIV.THE INHERITANCE OF JUDAH.Joshua 15:1-63.JUDAH was the imperial tribe, and it was fitting that he should be planted in a conspicuous territory. Even if the republic had not been destined to give place to the monarchy, some pre-eminence was due to the tribe which had inherited the patriarchal blessing, and from which He was to come in whom all the families of the earth were to be blessed. Judah and the sons of Joseph seem to have obtained their settlements not only before the other... read more
