SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:14
Y torna este término, y da vuelta al lado del mar, al mediodía hasta el monte que está delante de Bet-horón al mediodía; y viene a salir a Quiriat-baal, que es Quiriat-jearim, ciudad de los hijos de Judá. Este es el lado del occidente.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 14. And the border was drawn [thence] , etc.] From Bethhoron: and compassed the corner of the sea southward ; it is hard to say what sea is meant, or what by it. Fuller conjectures, that as the Hebrews call any confluence of water a sea, as we call such a “mere”, the great waters in Gibeon may be meant, ( Jeremiah 41:12); for it cannot mean the Mediterranean sea, for Dan lay between Benjamin and that; and yet if a sea is meant, no other can be; wherefore it is best to render it the “west quarter”, as it is in the latter part of this verse; and so the same word is translated, ( Joshua 18:12); the “west”, and not the “sea”, as it sometimes is; for the border of Benjamin did not reach the sea any where; though Josephus makes it to extend to it, and says, that the length of it was from the river Jordan to the sea: the hill that [lieth] before Bethhoron southward ; the hill that lay to the south of nether Bethhoron, as in ( Joshua 18:13): and the goings out thereof , the end of the western coast, were at Kirjathbaal, which [is] Kirjathjearim, a city of the children of Judah ; of which (see Joshua 15:9,60); this [was] the west quarter ; as thus described.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-28 - The boundaries of each portion were distinctly drawn, and the inheritance of each tribe settled. All contests and selfish claims wer prevented by the wise appointment of God, who allotted the hill and the valley, the corn and pasture, the brooks and rivers, the towns an cities. Is the lot of any servant of Christ cast in affliction an sorrow? It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good. Are we in prosperity and peace? It is from above. Be humbled when you compare the gift with your own unworthiness. Forget not Him that gave the good, an always be ready to resign it at his command __________________________________________________________________
