Contextual Overview

40 The seventh name drawn was for the families of the people of Dan. 41 In their land were 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 and Rakkon, with the land near Joppa. 47 The people of Dan needed more land. So they went up and fought with Leshem and took it with the sword. They took it for themselves and lived in it. And they gave it the name Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their father. 48 This is what was given to the families of the people of Dan, these cities with their towns.

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Thimnathah: Genesis 38:12, Judges 14:1, Judges 14:2, Timnath

Ekron: Ekron is placed by Eusebius between Ashdod and Jamnia, eastward; and probably the ruined village of Tookrair, mentioned by Dr. Richarson, situated on the top of a hill, and which he says seems to have been a place of considerable consequence, occupies its site. Joshua 15:45, 1 Samuel 5:10, Amos 1:8

Reciprocal: Joshua 15:11 - Ekron

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Elon,.... Of Elon no mention is made elsewhere;

and Thimnathah is a different place from Timnah in the tribe of Judah,

Joshua 15:10. Jerom s speaks of the Thamnitic country, so called from the village Thamna, which seems to be this;

and Ekron was one of the five principalities of the Philistines, and never possessed by the Israelites; it first fell by lot to the tribe of Judah, and afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, Joshua 15:45.

s De loc. Heb. fol. 88. E.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 43. Thimnathah — Probably the same as Timnah. Joshua 15:57.

Ekron — A well-known city of the Philistines and the metropolis of one of their five dynasties,
