Joshua 19:40-47
Zorah Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek. Josh 15:33, Zoreah, Judg 13:2, Judg 13:25, Judg 16:31, Judg 18:2; 1Chr 2:53; 2Chr 11:10 Irshemesh Supposed by some to be the same as Beth-shemesh in the tribe of Judah; but this latter city is evidently distinguished from it by being assigned by the tribe of Judah to the Levites (Josh 21:16). Ir-shemesh rendered πολις Σαμμαυς by the LXX, seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary. Shaalabbin Eusebius calls it Σαλαβα, and places it in Samaria, and Jerome calls it Salebi (Ezek 48:1-35), and joins it to Ajalon and Emmaus. Judg 1:35, Shaalbim Ajalon This appears to be the Ajalon which Jerome places two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, in the road to Jerusalem. Josh 10:12, Josh 21:24; 1Sam 14:31 Thimnathah Gen 38:12; Judg 14:1-2, Timnath Ekron Ekron is placed by Eusebius between Ashdod and Jamnia, eastward; and probably the ruined village of Tookrair, mentioned by Dr. Richarson, situated on the top of a hill, and which he says seems to have been a place of considerable consequence, occupies its site.
