Commentaries on Joshua 15:7
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7The valley of Achor - Debir mentioned in this verse is unknown. The valley of Achor had its name from the punishment of Achan. See the account, Joshua 7:24; (note), etc. En-shemesh - The fountain of the sun; it was eastward of Jerusalem, on the confines of Judah and Benjamin.Read the comment

En-rogel--"the fuller's fountain," on the southeast of Jerusalem, below the spot where the valleys of Jehoshaphat and Hinnom unite.Read the comment
