SEV Biblia, Chapter 15:33
En las llanuras, Estaol, y Zora, y Asena,
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 15:33
Verse 33. Eshtaol, and Zoreah] Here Samson was buried, it being the burial-place of his fathers; see Judg. xvi. 31. These places though first given to Judah, afterwards fell to the lot of Dan, chap. xix. 41.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. [And] in the valley , etc.] In ( Joshua 15:33-47) are enumerated the several cities belonging to the tribe of Judah which lay in the valley. Jerom says, that now all the plain and champaign country near Eleutheropolis, which verges to the north and west, is called “Sephela”, or the valley: Eshtaol ; the two first of these seem to be given afterwards to the tribe of Dan, ( Joshua 19:41); between these two places Samson was born and buried, ( Judges 13:2,25 16:31); they were both at the same distance from Eleutheropolis, according to Jerom; of Eshtaol he says f336 , it is showed to this day ten miles from Eleutheropolis, to the north, as you go to Nicopolis or Emmaus; and Zoreah , of which he calls Saara, he says it is a village on the borders of Eleutheropolis, as you go to Nicopolis, about ten miles of it in the tribe of Dan or Judah; and Ashnah , of which no mention is made elsewhere; there was another place of the same name, but different from this, ( Joshua 15:43).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 20-63 - Here is a list of the cities of Judah. But we do not here fin 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 littl among the thousands of Judah, Mic 5:2, except that it was thu honoured, was now so little as not to be accounted one of the cities __________________________________________________________________
