Joshua 13:5

And the land of the Giblites ,.... This was another country that remained unconquered; the Greeks call it Byblus, and near to which Pliny F5 Ut supra. (Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 20.) speaks of a place called Gabale, and is now called Gibyle; it is F6 Maundrel's Journey from Aleppo, &c.; p. 33. said to be"pleasantly situated by the seaside, and at present it contains but a little extent of ground, but yet more than enough for the small number of its inhabitants:'it was in greater splendour, and its inhabitants of more fame, in the times of Ezekiel, Ezekiel 27:9 ,

and all Lebanon toward the sunrising ; or east of the land; all that inhabited that mountain remained unconquered, though the conquest was carried as far as the borders thereof:

from Baalgad, under Mount Hermon ; of which see Joshua 11:17 ;

unto the entering into Hamath : which was the north border of the land; see Numbers 34:8 .
