John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 28. And Hebron , etc.] Hebron seems to be the same with Abdon, ( Joshua 21:30 1 Chronicles 6:74); r and d being changed, of which there are other instances; and hereby this is distinguished from another Hebron in the tribe of Judah, more commonly known, ( Joshua 15:54); and Rehob ; in the time of Jerom f466 , there was a village called Rooba, four miles from Scythopolis, and which he says was a city separated to the Levites, as this was, or one of the same name in this tribe; for there was another, ( Joshua 19:30); (see Joshua 21:31); but whether either of them is the same with this is not certain; and Hammon ; of this city we read nowhere else: and Kanah ; this Kanah is generally thought to be the same where Christ wrought his first miracle, ( John 2:1,11). Jerom expressly says f467 , there was a Cana in the tribe of Asher, where our Lord and Saviour turned water into wine, ( John 2:1), and from whence was Nathanael, ( John 21:2); and it is at this day, adds he, a town in Galilee of the Gentiles. Phocas f468 places Cana between Sippori and Nazareth, which is now shown six Roman miles from Sippori to the west, a little inclining to the north; and there is also in the same tract Cephar Cana, four miles from Nazareth to the north, inclining to the east; and it is disputed which of these two is Cana of Galilee the New Testament: with this account agrees pretty much what our countryman Mr. Maundrell gives of his travels in those parts: “taking leave of Nazareth, (he says,) and going at first northward, we crossed the hills that encompassed the vale of Nazareth at that side; after which we turned to the westward, and passed in view of Cana of Galilee, the place signalized with the beginning of Christ’s miracles, ( John 2:11); in an hour and a half more we came to Sepharia;” or Sippori: [even] unto great Zidon ; of great Zidon, and why so called, (see Gill on “ Joshua 11:8”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 17-51 - Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked an provision for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw the all placed, and herein is an example to all in public places, to prefe the common welfare before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an inheritance in the Canaan above: but it wil be soon enough to enter thereon, when they have done all the service to their brethren of which they are capable. Nor can any thing mor effectually assure them of their title to it, than endeavouring to bring others to desire, to seek, and to obtain it. Our Lord Jesus cam and dwelt on earth, not in pomp but poverty, providing rest for man yet himself not having where to lay his head; for Christ pleased no himself. Nor would he enter upon his inheritance, till by his obedienc to death he secured the eternal inheritance for all his people; no will he account his own glory completed, till every ransomed sinner is put in possession of his heavenly rest __________________________________________________________________
