SEV Biblia, Chapter 13:19
y Quiriataim, y Sibma, y Zaret-sahar en el monte de Emec (monte del valle);
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 13:19
Verse 19. Kirjathaim] This city, according to Eusebius, was nine miles distant from Medeba, towards the east. It passed from the Emim to the Moabites, from the Moabites to the Amorites, and from the Amorites to the Israelites, Gen. xiv. 6; Deuteronomy ii. 20. Calmet supposes the Reubenites possessed it till the time they were carried away by the Assyrians; and then the Moabites appear to have taken possession of it anew, as he collects from Jer. xlviii. 1 &c., and Ezek. xxv. 9 &c. Sibmah] A place remarkable for its vines. See Isa. xvi. 8, 9, Jer. xlviii. 32. Zareth-shahar, in the mount of the valley] This probably means a town situated on or near to a hill in some flat country.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 19. And Kirjathaim , etc.] Of which (see Gill on “ Numbers 32:37”); and Sibmah ; of which (see Gill on “ Numbers 32:3”) and (see Gill on “ Numbers 32:38”); and Zarethshahar, in the mount of the valley ; which was built on one of the mountains that looked over the valley of Moab, as did Nebo, Pisgah, Abarim; perhaps it is the same place Josephus calls Zara, to which he joins the valley of the Cilicians, and mentions it along with Heshbon, Medeba, and other cities of Moab; according to Adrichomius f283 , it was in the mount of the valley of Bethpeor, which next follows.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-33 - The land must be divided among the tribes. It is the will of God tha every man should know his own, and not take that which is another's The world must be governed, not by force, but right. Wherever ou habitation is placed, and in whatever honest way our portion is assigned, we should consider them as allotted of God; we should be thankful for, and use them as such, while every prudent method shoul be used to prevent disputes about property, both at present and in future. Joshua must be herein a type of Christ, who has not onl conquered the gates of hell for us, but has opened to us the gates of heaven, and having purchased the eternal inheritance for all believers will put them in possession of it. Here is a general description of the country given to the two tribes and a half, by Moses. Israel must know their own, and keep to it; and may not, under pretence of their being God's peculiar people, encroach on their neighbours. Twice in thi chapter it is noticed, that to the tribe of Levi Moses gave n inheritance: see Nu 18:20. Their maintenance must be brought out of all the tribes. The ministers of the Lord should show themselve indifferent about worldly interests, and the people should take car they want nothing suitable. And happy are those who have the Lord God of Israel for their inheritance, though little of this world falls to their lot. His providences will supply their wants, his consolation will support their souls, till they gain heavenly joy and everlastin pleasures __________________________________________________________________
