Cabul on the left hand - That is, to the north of Cabul, for so the left hand, when referring to place, is understood among the Hebrews.

This site's exposition

the fifth lot came out

on Joshua 19:24-31

Asher's border runs north past Carmel to great Zidon and to the strong city Tyre, ground Israel never held. Judges 1:31 lists Accho, Zidon, Ahlab, Achzib, Helbah, Aphik and Rehob as places Asher did not drive out, and four of those names stand in this allotment: Zidon at verse 28, Rehob at verses 28 and 30, Achzib at verse 29 and Aphek at verse 30. Both accounts stand as written, and the same book that says at 21:45 that nothing failed says at 13:1 that much land remained to be possessed. Keil and Delitzsch read Joshua as the record of land granted rather than land occupied, and Matthew Henry lays the shortfall on Israel's own slackness rather than on the promise.
