Verse 38
And Iron ,.... Of Iron no mention is made elsewhere:
and Migdalel , which Jerom calls Magdiel, he says F13 De loc. Heb. fol. 93. L. was shown a small village, five miles from Dara, as you go to Ptolemais:
and Horem is not mentioned anywhere elsewhere;
and Bethanath ; Jerom also relates F14 Ibid. fol. 89. H. , that Bathana, in the tribe of Naphtali, was a village that went by the name of Betbanes, fifteen miles from Caesarea:
and Bethshemesh was another city, in which was a temple dedicated to the sun, when inhabited by the Canaanites; see Joshua 19:22 ; and so in Bethanath there might be a temple dedicated to some deity, though now uncertain what:
nineteen cities with their villages ; there are more mentioned, but some of them might be only boundaries, and so belonged to another tribe.
