SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:21

Las ciudades de la tribu de los hijos de Benjamín, por sus familias, fueron Jericó, Bet-hogla, y el valle de Casis,

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 18:21

Verse 21. Now the cities] Some of these cities have been mentioned before, and described; of others we know nothing but the name.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 21. Now the cities of the tribe of the children of Benjamin , according to their families, were Jericho , etc.] Which though destroyed, and not to be rebuilt as a city, was yet a place inhabited, and in future times was rebuilt, and in great splendour, and continued to the time of Christ; of which (see Joshua 2:1); and Bethhoglah , where or near to which was the threshing floor of Atad, at which lamentation was made for Jacob, (see Gill on “ Genesis 1:10”), and (see Gill on “ Joshua 15:6”); and the valley of Keziz ; or Emekkeziz; so the Greek version calls it Amecasis: it is highly probable it was in the valley or plain of Jericho, and perhaps might have its name from the incision of the balsam tree there; which, as Pliny says, was cut with glass or a stone, or with knives made of bone; if cut with iron, it kills it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 11-28 - The boundaries of each portion were distinctly drawn, and the inheritance of each tribe settled. All contests and selfish claims wer prevented by the wise appointment of God, who allotted the hill and the valley, the corn and pasture, the brooks and rivers, the towns an cities. Is the lot of any servant of Christ cast in affliction an sorrow? It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good. Are we in prosperity and peace? It is from above. Be humbled when you compare the gift with your own unworthiness. Forget not Him that gave the good, an always be ready to resign it at his command __________________________________________________________________
