The king of Tappuah, one ,.... Which Jerom calls F12 De loc. Heb. fol. 95. C. Thaffu; it signifies an apple, and perhaps had its name from plenty of that fruit that grew there: a city of this name fell to the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:34 ; where also was another place called Bethtappuah, Joshua 15:53 ; and both different from another Tappuah on the border of Manasseh, which belonged to the tribe of Ephraim, Joshua 17:8 ; by some thought to be meant here: the king of Hepher,... read more

There was a place called Aphekah in the tribe of Judah, Joshua 15:53 ; and an Aphek that was on the border of the Amorites, Joshua 13:4 ; and another in the tribe of Asher, Joshua 19:30 ; but Adrichomius F14 Theatrum Terrae Sanct. p. 35. places this Aphek in the tribe of Issachar, whose king Joshua smote, and takes it to be the same place where the Philistines in the times of Samuel and David brought their armies against Israel, 1 Samuel 4:1 ; and... read more

The king of Taanach, one ,.... It was in the tribe of Manasseh, Joshua 17:11 ; Jerom says F17 De Loc. Heb. fol. 95.

The king of Dor, in the coast of Dor, one ,.... Of which see Joshua 11:2 ; it fell to the lot of Manasseh, but never was possessed by them, as were not Taanach and Megiddo, before mentioned, Joshua 17:11 Judges 1:27 , the king of the nations of Gilgal, one ; not the place where Joshua encamped after he had passed Jordan, for that was then no city; the Septuagint version renders it the land of Galilee; and Dr. Lightfoot F19 Chorograph.

The king of Tirzah, one ,.... To what tribe this place fell is nowhere said: Adrichomius F21 Theatrum Terrae Sanct. p. 74. places it in the tribe of Manasseh; and so does Bunting F23 Travels, &c.; p. 160. , who says of it, that it was a fair and beautiful city, situated on a high and pleasant mountain, in the tribe of Manasseh, twenty four miles from Jerusalem to the north: here Jeroboam had his royal seat, and so his successors unto Omri, 1 Kings 14:17 ; and Dr Lightfoot ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 12:1

From the river Arnon unto Mount Hermon - Arnon was the boundary of all the southern coast of the land occupied by the Israelites beyond Jordan; and the mountains of Hermon were the boundaries on the north. Arnon takes its rise in the mountains of Gilead, and having run a long way from north to south falls into the Dead Sea, near the same place into which Jordan discharges itself. And all the plain on the east - All the land from the plains of Moab to Mount Hermon. read more
