Contextual Overview

1 And Joshua was old and very advanced in years; and the Lord said to Joshua, Thou art advanced in years, and there is much land left to inherit. 2 And this is the land that is left: the borders of the Phylistines, the Gesirite, and the Chananite, 3 from the wilderness before Egypt, as far as the borders of Accaron on the left of the Chananites the land is reckoned to the five principalities of the Phylistines, to the inhabitant of Gaza, and of Azotus, and of Ascalon, and of Geth, and of Accaron, and to the Evite; 4 from Thaeman even to all the land of Chanaan before Gaza, and the Sidonians as far as Aphec, as far as the borders of the Amorites. 5 And all the land of Galiath of the Phylistines, and all Libanus eastward from Galgal, under the mountain Aermon as far as the entering in of Emath; 6 every one that inhabits the hill country from Libanus as far as Masereth Memphomaim. All the Sidonians, I will destroy them from before Israel; but do thou give them by inheritance to Israel, as I charged thee. 7 And now divide this land by lot to the nine tribes, and to the half tribe of Manasse.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Giblites: Probably the inhabitants of the country, around Gebal - Ezekiel 27:9, or Byblos, as the LXX render, a city of Phoenicia, situated on the Mediterranean, between Sidon and Tripoli, on the north of the river Adonis. It is now called Gibyle, of Djebail, situated about a day's journey south of Tripoli. Its walls are about a mile in circumference, with square towers about every forty yards' distance. Anciently it must have been a place of no mean extent and of considerable beauty, from the ruins still visible. 1 Kings 5:18, *marg. Psalms 83:7, Ezekiel 27:9

Lebanon: Deuteronomy 1:7, Deuteronomy 3:25

Baalgad: Joshua 12:7

under mount: Joshua 11:17

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the land of the Giblites,.... This was another country that remained unconquered; the Greeks call it Byblus, and near to which Pliny e speaks of a place called Gabale, and is now called Gibyle; it is f said to be

"pleasantly situated by the seaside, and at present it contains but a little extent of ground, but yet more than enough for the small number of its inhabitants:''

it was in greater splendour, and its inhabitants of more fame, in the times of Ezekiel, Ezekiel 27:9;

and all Lebanon toward the sunrising; or east of the land; all that inhabited that mountain remained unconquered, though the conquest was carried as far as the borders thereof:

from Baalgad, under Mount Hermon; of which see Joshua 11:17;

unto the entering into Hamath: which was the north border of the land; see Numbers 34:8.

e Ut supra. (Nat. Hist. l. 5. c. 20.) f Maundrel's Journey from Aleppo, &c. p. 33.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Giblites - The people of Gebal (“Jebail”, 22 miles north of Beyronut). They were “stone-squarers” 1 Kings 5:18 and (ship) “caulkers” Ezekiel 27:9.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 13:5. The land of the Giblites — This people dwelt beyond the precincts of the land of Canaan, on the east of Tyre and Sidon. See Ezekiel 27:9; Psalms 83:7; their capital was named Gebal. See Dodd.
