Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

The great sea - The Mediterranean.


Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

Ashdod with her towns and, her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages,.... Gaza was another of the principalities of the Philistines, of which See Gill on Amos 1:7; See Gill on Zephaniah 2:4; See Gill on Acts 8:26; these, with the two other principalities not mentioned, Gath and Ashkelon, were in the western border of the tribe of Judah, which reached from Ekron, the first that is mentioned:

unto the river of Egypt; of which see Joshua 15:4,

and the great sea, and the border thereof; the Mediterranean sea, called so in comparison of the lesser seas in Judea, the salt sea, and the sea of Tiberias; whose border was its shore, and the cities upon it, and not the isles in the sea, as Jarchi.


Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

Ashdod, now Esdd, and Gaza, now Ghuzzeh: see at Joshua 13:3. Also "the daughter towns and villages, unto the brook of Egypt (Wady el Arish: see Joshua 15:4), and the great sea with its territory," i.e., the tract of land lying between Gaza and the coast of the Mediterranean. Gath and Askalon are not mentioned, because they are both of them included in the boundaries named. Askalon was between Ashdod and Gaza, by the sea-coast (see at Joshua 13:3), and Gath on the east of Ekron and Ashdod (see Joshua 13:3), so that, as a matter of course, it was assigned to Judah.


Geneva Study Bible

Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the {i} river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:

(i) Meaning, the Nile Jos 13:3.


Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

15:20-63 Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here find Bethlehem, afterwards the city of David, and ennobled by the birth of our Lord Jesus in it. That city, which, at the best, was but little among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thus honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities.


Joshua 15:4 It then passed along to Azmon and joined the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This is their southern boundary.
Joshua 15:46 west of Ekron, all that were in the vicinity of Ashdod, together with their villages;
Joshua 15:48 In the hill country: Shamir, Jattir, Socoh,
Judges 16:1 One day Samson went to Gaza, where he saw a prostitute. He went in to spend the night with her.
