Contextual Overview

40The seventh lot came out for the clans of the tribe of Dan: 41The territory of their inheritance included Zorah, Eshtaol, Ir-shemesh, 42Shaalabbin, Aijalon, Ithlah, 43Elon, Timnah, Ekron, 44Eltekeh, Gibbethon, Baalath,45Jehud, Bene-berak, Gath-rimmon, 46Me-jarkon, and Rakkon, including the territory across from Joppa. 47(Later, when the territory of the Danites was lost to them, they went up and fought against Leshem, captured it, and struck it down with the sword. So they took possession of Leshem, settled there, and renamed it after their father Dan.) 48This was the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Dan, including these cities and villages.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Eltekeh,.... Eltekeh was a city given to the Levites,

Joshua 21:23; and supposed by some to be the same with Eltekon in the tribe of Judah given to the Danites, Joshua 15:59;

and Gibbethon was in the hands of the Philistines in the reign of Asa,

1 Kings 15:21; and in the same place Jerom t calls Gabatha a city of the strangers, or Philistines; and which lie places near Bethlehem in the tribe of Judah;

and Baalath is not the same with Baalah, Joshua 15:29; but the Baalath rebuilt by Solomon, 1 Kings 9:18; called by Josephus u Baleth, and spoken of by him as near to Gazara in the land of the Philistines; of these two last cities, the Talmudists w say that their houses belonged to Judah, and their fields to Dan.
