SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:57
Caín, Gabaa, y Timna; diez ciudades con sus aldeas.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 15:57
Verse 57. Timnah] A frontier town of the Philistines; it was in this place that Samson got his wife, see Judg. xiv. 1-xv. 20.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 57. Cain , etc.] Cain, or Hakain, “that Cain”, we nowhere else read of; whether the name was given it by the old Canaanites, in memory of Cain, the son of Adam, is not certain: Gibeah ; there were other places that went by the name of Gibeah; there was a Gibeah in Benjamin, ( Judges 20:4,10 1 Samuel 13:2,15,16 14:16), and another in the same tribe called Gibeah of Saul, ( 1 Samuel 11:4 15:34) ( 2 Samuel 21:6 Isaiah 10:29), to distinguish it from that; but this was in the tribe of Judah. Masius conjectures it is the same with that in ( 1 Samuel 23:19) which was near Ziph; and not amiss. Jerom f373 makes mention of Gabaha and Gabatha, little villages to the east of Daroma; and of another Gabatha, near Bethlehem, in the tribe of Judah; but whether either of these are meant it is doubtful; Timnah , of this city, (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:10”); ten cities with their villages ; the number agrees with the names of them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-63 - Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here fin Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but littl among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thu honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities __________________________________________________________________
