ヨシュア記 19:1-8 JCB

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Joshua 19:1-9

The inheritance of Simeon was taken out of the portion of Judah, which proved on experience to be larger than the numbers of that tribe required. The Simeonite territory is described by its towns, of which fourteen were in the Negeb, and four others Joshua 19:7 partly in the Negeb and partly in “the valley.” On the narrow confines here assigned to Simeon, and its insignificant position altogether among the Twelve tribes, see Deuteronomy 33:6 note.Joshua 19:6Thirteen - Fourteen names have been... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Joshua 19:1

Joshua 19:1. The second lot came forth to Simeon God disposed it so by an especial providence, Simeon being the eldest son of Jacob that was unprovided for. Their inheritance was within the inheritance of Judah This also was ordered by God’s providence, partly to fulfil that threatening that he would divide and scatter this tribe in Israel, (Genesis 49:7,) which was hereby done in part, because they had no distinct lot, but were as inmates to Judah; partly because now, upon the more... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Joshua 19:1-51

The seven smaller tribes (18:1-19:51)Allotments were now finished for two and a half tribes on the east of Jordan (Reuben, Gad and half of Manasseh) and two and a half tribes on the west (Judah, Ephraim and the other half of Manasseh). The next task was to settle the seven smaller tribes that remained. For this purpose the camp, including the tabernacle, was shifted from Gilgal to a more central location at Shiloh (18:1-2; cf. 5:10; 10:6,15,43; 14:6; 19:51; 22:9,12).Many of the people had by... read more

This chapter details the territories assigned to the remaining six tribes. The first of these remaining six was Simeon.SIMEON"And the second lot came out for Simeon, even for the tribe of the children of Simeon according to their families: and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the children of Judah. And they had for their inheritance Beer-sheba, or Sheba, and Moladah, and Hazar-shual, and Balah, and Ezem, and Eltolad, and Bethul, and Hormah, and Ziklag, and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 19:1

Ver. 1. And the second lot came forth to Simeon— Simeon was the eldest son of Jacob, who still remained unportioned. The lot, directed by an especial Providence, gave him a portion, which fully verified the divine promises and threatenings. Animated by the spirit of God, Jacob, when dying, had declared to Simeon and Levi, that they should be dispersed in Israel, for their cruelty against the Shechemites. See Gen 49:6-7 and Genesis 34:0. Levi was scattered through all Palestine, and had no... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Joshua 19:1

1. the second lot came forth to Simeon—The next lot that was drawn at Shiloh, gave the tribe of Simeon his inheritance within the territory, which had been assigned to that of Judah. The knowledge of Canaan possessed by the Israelites, when the division of the land commenced, was but very general, being derived from the rapid sweep they had made over it during the course of conquest; and it was on the ground of that rough survey alone that the distribution proceeded, by which Judah received an... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Joshua 19:1-9

The inheritance of Simeon 19:1-9Simeon’s lot fell within the southern portion of the inheritance of Judah because Judah’s portion proved too large for that tribe (Joshua 19:9). Simeon received certain towns within Judah’s territory. In this way God fulfilled Jacob’s prediction, at least initially, that Simeon would experience dispersion (Genesis 49:5-7).The Simeonites received two groups of towns (Joshua 19:2-8). The first group consisted of 13 towns in the Negev (Joshua 19:2-6). The second... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Joshua 19:1-9

XIX.INHERITANCE OF SIMEON (Joshua 19:1-9).(1) Their inheritance was within the inheritance of the children of Judah.—The southern part of the inheritance of Judah was given up to Simeon. (See Judges 1:3; Judges 1:17.) In this fact a prophecy was fulfilled; for the effect of the allotment was to separate Simeon from the tribes with whom he had been united in the journey through the wilderness (viz., Reuben and Gad), who had cast off Simeon, and united themselves with the half tribe of Manasseh... read more
