Joshua 19:34

And then the coast turneth westward to Aznothtabor ,.... This was the southern border, reaching from east to west; it began at Aznothtabor, which Jerom F7 De loc. Heb. fol. 88. I. says was a village in his time belonging to the country of Diocaesarea, in the plains; there is another place called Chislothtabor, on the borders of Zebulun, Joshua 19:12 ,

and goeth out from thence to Hukkok : there the southern border ended, which was in the border of Asher, and is the same with Helkath, Joshua 19:25 ; with which compare 1 Chronicles 6:75 ,

and reacheth to Zebulun on the south side, and reacheth to Asher on the west side and to Judah upon Jordan towards the sunrising ; so that as it was bounded by Lebanon, on the north, near to which some of the cities were, mentioned in Joshua 19:33 , it had Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Jordan to the east; for by Judah is not meant the tribe of Judah, from which Naphtali was at a great distance, but a city so called, as Fuller F8 Pisgah-Sight, B. 2. c. 4. p. 104. seems rightly to conjecture.
