Joshua 19:43

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And Elon,.... Of Elon no mention is made elsewhere;and Thimnathah is a different place from Timnah in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:10. Jerom speaks of the Thamnitic country, so called from the village Thamna, which seems to be this;and Ekron was one of the five principalities of the Philistines, and never possessed by the Israelites; it first fell by lot to the tribe of Judah, and afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, Jos 15:45.

De loc. Heb. fol. 88.
