Commentaries on Joshua 19:15

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Shimron - See on Joshua 12:20; (note). Beth-lehem - The house of bread; a different place from that in which our Lord was born.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 15Twelve cities - Only five have been mentioned, and the names in the verses preceding are apparently not names of Zebulonite cities, but merely of points in or near the boundary line. It would therefore appear that seven names have disappeared from the text, and perhaps also the definition of the western frontier.Read the comment
