Verse 25

And their border was Helkath ,.... Helkath seems to be the same with Hukok, 1 Chronicles 6:75 ; and according to Masius it lay ten or twelve miles above Ptolemais:

and Hali , of which we read nowhere else.

and Beten is by Jerom F8 De loc. Heb. fol. 89. H. called Bathne, and was in his time a village by the name of Bethebem, eight miles from Ptolemais to the east. Reland F9 Palestin. Illustrat. tom. 2. p. 617. seems to think it might be the Ecbatana of Pliny F11 Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 19. , which he speaks of as near Mount Carmel, and not far from Ptolemais:

and Achshaph was a royal city, whose king was taken by Joshua; see Gill on Joshua 11:1 .
