Contextual Overview

⁴⁰ The seventh part of the land was given to the tribe of Dan. Each family group of Dan received some of the land. ⁴¹ Their land included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir Shemesh, ⁴² Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, ⁴³ Elon, Timnah, Ekron, ⁴⁴ Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath, ⁴⁵ Jehud, Bene Berak, Gath Rimmon, ⁴⁶ Me Jarkon, Rakkon, and the area near Joppa. ⁴⁷ (But the Danites had trouble taking their land. They went and fought against Leshem, defeated it, and killed the people who lived there. So the Danites moved into the town of Leshem and changed its name to Dan, because he was the father of their tribe.) ⁴⁸ All of these towns and villages were given to the family groups of Dan.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Japho (the modern Jaffa, or Yafa), elsewhere (see the margin) called Joppa, is often mentioned in the history of the Maccabees and was, as it still is, the leading port of access to Jerusalem both for pilgrims and for merchandise. It is a very ancient town.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 19:46. Japho. — The place since called Joppa, lying on the Mediterranean, and the chief sea-port, in the possession of the twelve tribes.
