Judges 1:31

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

Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho,.... The same with Ptolemais, See Gill on "Ac 21:7"; so called from the first Ptolemy king of Egypt, who enlarged it; but it has since recovered its ancient name pretty nearly, and is now called Acca or Acra."

On its north and east sides (Mr. Maundrell says ) it is encompassed with a spacious and fertile plain; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean sea; and on the south by a large bay, extending from the city as far as Mount Carmel:''nor the inhabitants of Zidon; a well known city in Phoenicia, belonging to this tribe, see Jos 19:28;nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor of Rehob; two of these places, Ahlab and Helbah, are not mentioned among the cities of the tribe of Asher, Jos 19:24; unless Helbah is the same with Helkath, Jud 1:25; of the rest, Achzib,See Gill on "Jos 19:29", Aphik, and Rehob,See Gill on "Jos 19:30".
