SEV Biblia, Chapter 1:31
Tampoco Aser echó a los que habitaban en Aco, y a los que habitaban en Sidón, y en Ahlab, y en Aczib, y en Helba, y en Afec, y en Rehob;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Judges 1:31
Verse 31. Neither did Asher] See on Josh. xix. 24-31. Accho] Supposed to be the city of Ptolemais, near to Mount Carmel.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 31. Neither did Asher drive out the inhabitants of Accho , etc.] The same with Ptolemais, (see Gill on “ Acts 21:7”); so called from the first Ptolemy king of Egypt, who enlarged it; but it has since recovered its ancient name pretty nearly, and is now called Acca or Acra. “On its north and east sides (Mr. Maundrell says f21 ) it is encompassed with a spacious and fertile plain; on the west it is washed by the Mediterranean sea; and on the south by a large bay, extending from the city as far as Mount Carmel:” nor the inhabitants of Zidon ; a well known city in Phoenicia, belonging to this tribe, (see Joshua 19:28); nor of Ahlab, nor of Achzib, nor Helbah, nor Aphik, nor of Rehob ; two of these places, Ahlab and Helbah, are not mentioned among the cities of the tribe of Asher, ( Joshua 19:24-31); unless Helbah is the same with Helkath, ( Judges 1:25); of the rest, Achzib, (see Gill on “ Joshua 19:29”), Aphik, and Rehob, (see Gill on “ Joshua 19:30”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-36 - The people of Israel were very careless of their duty and interest Owing to slothfulness and cowardice, they would not be at the pains to complete their conquests. It was also owing to their covetousness: the were willing to let the Canaanites live among them, that they migh make advantage of them. They had not the dread and detestation of idolatry they ought to have had. The same unbelief that kept their fathers forty years out of Canaan, kept them now out of the ful possession of it. Distrust of the power and promise of God deprive them of advantages, and brought them into troubles. Thus many believer who begins well is hindered. His graces languish, his lust revive, Satan plies him with suitable temptations, the world recover its hold; he brings guilt into his conscience, anguish into his heart discredit on his character, and reproach on the gospel. Though he ma have sharp rebukes, and be so recovered that he does not perish, yet he will have deeply to lament his folly through his remaining days; an upon his dying bed to mourn over the opportunities of glorifying God and serving the church he has lost. We can have no fellowship with the enemies of God within us or around us, but to our hurt; therefore ou only wisdom is to maintain unceasing war against them __________________________________________________________________
