SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:26
y Mizpa, Cafira, y Mozah,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 18:26
Verse 26. And Mizpeh] This place is celebrated in the sacred writings. Here the people were accustomed to assemble often in the presence of the Lord, as in the deliberation concerning the punishment to be inflicted on the men of Gibeah, for the abuse of the Levite's wife. Judg. xx. 1-3.
Samuel assembled the people here to exhort them to renounce their idolatry, 1 Sam. vii. 5, 6. In this same place Saul was chosen to be king, 1 Sam. x. 17. It was deemed a sacred place among the Israelites; for we find, from 1Mac iii. 46, that the Jews assembled here to seek God, when their enemies were in possession of the temple.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. And Mizpeh , etc.] Frequent mention is made of Mizpeh in Scripture; according to Fuller f421 , it was about eight miles from Gibeah; it was near Ramathon, which Josephus says was forty furlongs from Jerusalem; and Chephirah was one of the cities subject to Gibeon, ( Joshua 9:17). and Mozah ; there was a place called Motza, near to Jerusalem, where they used to go to get willows at the feast of tabernacles f423 .
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 __________________________________________________________________
