And their border was Helkath,.... Helkath seems to be the same with Hukok, 1Ch 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 called Bathne, and was in his time a village by the name of Bethebem, eight miles from Ptolemais to the east.
Reland seems to think it might be the Ecbatana of Pliny , 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 "Jos 11:1".
