{Joshua 19:41} And the coast 1366 of their inheritance 5159 was x1961 Zorah, 6881 and Eshtaol, 847 and Irshemesh, 5905
Zorah:
Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek. "[And] in the valley,ª Eshtaol,ª and Zoreah,ª and Ashnah,ª" {Jsh 15:33}, Zoreah, "And there was¹ a certainª manª of Zorah,²¹¹ of the familyª¹ of the Danites,ª whose nameª [was] Manoah;ª and his wifeª [was] barren,ª and bareª° not.¹" {Jdg 13:2} + "And the Spiritª of the LORDª beganª° to move¹ him at times²° in the campª of Danª between¹ Zorahª and Eshtaol.ª" {Jdg 13:25} + "Then his brethrenª and all¹ the houseª of his fatherª came down,ª° and tookª° him, and brought [him] up,ª° and buriedª° him between¹ Zorahª and Eshtaolª in the buryingplaceª of Manoahª his father.ª And he¹ judgedª°¹ Israelª twentyª years.ª" {Jdg 16:31} + "And the childrenª of Danª sentª° of their familyª¹ fiveª men²¹ from their coasts,ª¹ men²¹ of valour,ª from Zorah,ª¹ and from Eshtaol,ª¹ to spy²° out¹¹ the land,ª and to searchª° it; and they saidª° unto¹ them, Go,²°¹ searchª°¹ the land:ª who when they cameª° to mountª Ephraim,ª to¹ the houseª of Micah,ª they lodgedª° there.¹" {Jdg 18:2} + "And the familiesª of Kirjathjearim;ª the Ithrites,ª and the Puhites,ª and the Shumathites,ª and the Mishraites;ª of them¹¹ cameª° the Zareathites,ª and the Eshtaulites.ª" {1Ch 2:53} + "And Zorah,²¹ and Aijalon,ª and Hebron,ª which¹ [are] in Judahª and in Benjaminª fencedª cities.ª" {2Ch 11:10}
Irshemesh:
Supposed by some to be the same as Beth-shemesh in the tribe of Judah; but this latter city is evidently distinguished from it by being assigned by the tribe of Judah to the Levites ("And Ainª with¹ her suburbs,ª and Juttahª with¹ her suburbs,ª [and]¹ Bethshemeshª with¹ her suburbs;ª nineª citiesª out of¹¹ those¹ twoª tribes.ª" {Jsh 21:16}). Ir-shemesh rendered πολις Σαμμαυς by the LXX, seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary.
