and Elon, and Timnah, and Ekron,
KJV
And Elon, and Thimnathah, and Ekron,
And Elon,.... Of Elon no mention is made elsewhere: and Thimnathah is a different place from Timnah in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:10. Jerom (s) speaks of the Thamnitic country, so called from the village Thamna, which seems to be this: and Ekron was one of the five principalities of the Philistines, and never possessed by the Israelites; it first fell by lot to the tribe of Judah, and afterwards given to the tribe of Dan, Jos 15:45. (s) De loc. Heb. fol. 88. E.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
