Commentary
3 notes on this verseAnd the coast reacheth to Tabor,.... Tabor was the name of a mountain in those parts; it is generally supposed to be the mountain on which our Lord was transfigured, though it is not sufficiently evident; See Gill on Jer 46:18. There was a city of this name near it, 1Ch 6:77, and which is meant here, and which either gave unto or received name from the mount.
This site's exposition
the fourth lot came out
on Joshua 19:17-23
Issachar is given by its towns rather than by a traced border, because the tribe sits enclosed between portions already described. Jezreel at verse 18 becomes the second royal city of Israel and the ground of Naboth's vineyard at 1 Kings 21:1. Shunem in the same verse is where the Philistines pitch their camp before Saul's last night at 1 Samuel 28:4, and where the woman who kept a room for Elisha lived at 2 Kings 4:8. Mount Gilboa, where Saul falls, rises on the southern edge of the same plain.
The record, by era
The Nineteenth Century1 voice
Beth-shemesh - The house or temple of the sun; there were several cities or towns of this name in Palestine; an ample proof that the worship of this celestial luminary had generally prevailed in that idolatrous country.
