into: Joshua 10:40, Joshua 15:48-59, Joshua 21:9-11
city: This was most probably Hebron, a city of the priests, and situated in the hill country of Judea - Joshua 11:21, Joshua 21:11, Joshua 21:13, about 25 miles south of Jerusalem, and nearly 100 from Nazareth. Such was the intense desire of Mary's mind to visit and communicate with her relative Elisabeth, that she scrupled not to undertake this long journey to effect her purpose.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And Mary arose in those days,.... The Ethiopic version renders it, "in that day"; directly, immediately, as soon as the angel was gone from her; partly to know the truth of things, and to make use of the sign which had been given her, for the further confirmation of her faith, which was very right and proper for her to do; and partly to converse with Elisabeth about the great things which God had done for each of them, and to praise his name together: "and went into the hill country with haste"; the same which is called the country of the hills, and the hills, and the mountains, in Joshua 10:40 where the Septuagint use the same word as here: the land of Judea was divided into three parts, ההר, "the mountain", or hill country, the champaign country, and the valley b: from Betboron to Emmaus is
הר, "the hill country"; from Emmaus to Lud, or Lydda, is the champaign country; and from Lydda to the sea, the valley c. This place is frequently called, in the Jewish writings d, the king's mountain, or the royal mountain, and is said to be very full of cities: ten thousand cities, they say e, were in the king's mountain, and a thousand of them belonged to R. Eleazer ben Harsum: yea, they say f, that king Jannai had sixty myriads of cities in the mountain of the king. The Syriac, Arabic, and Persic versions render it, "went to the mountain", to this mountain, and which is called the mountain, or, as we read it, the hill country of Judah, Joshua 21:11 on which Hebron was situated; and seems to be the city next mentioned: into a city of Judah; for that was given to the children of Aaron and so may reasonably be thought to be the city where Zacharias dwelt, and not Jerusalem, which was in the tribe of Benjamin. Hebron was a city peculiar to the priests; whereas Jerusalem was not; and it was in the hill country of Judea; it was remarkable for the goodness of its stones. It is said g
"you have no stones in all the land of Israel harder than at Hebron; hence they buried the dead there.''

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
And Mary arose - The word “arose” here is equivalent to “setting out,” or starting on a journey.
The hill country - The region in the vicinity of Jerusalem, commonly called the hill country of Judea.
City of Juda - What city is meant is not known. Some have supposed it to be Jerusalem, others Hebron; but all is conjecture. It was probably a Levitical city, and the residence of Zechariah when he was not employed in the temple.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 39. In those days — As soon as she could conveniently fit herself out for the journey.
Hill country — Hebron, the city of the priests, Joshua 21:11, which was situated in the tribe of Judah, about forty miles south of Jerusalem, and upwards of seventy from Nazareth.
With haste — This probably refers to nothing else than the earnestness of her mind to visit her relative Elisabeth, and to see what the Lord had wrought for her.
