John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 19. And Hapharaim , etc.] The first of these is by Jerom called Aphraim, a city of the tribe of Issachar; and adds, there is at this day a village called Affarea, six miles from Legion to the north; and Shion ; of Seon or Soen, the same with Shion here, he says f448 , there was a village of this name shown in his time near Mount Tabor; and Anaharath , of which we have no account elsewhere.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-51 - Joshua waited till all the tribes were settled, before he asked an provision for himself. He was content to be unfixed, till he saw the all placed, and herein is an example to all in public places, to prefe the common welfare before private advantage. Those who labour most to do good to others, seek an inheritance in the Canaan above: but it wil be soon enough to enter thereon, when they have done all the service to their brethren of which they are capable. Nor can any thing mor effectually assure them of their title to it, than endeavouring to bring others to desire, to seek, and to obtain it. Our Lord Jesus cam and dwelt on earth, not in pomp but poverty, providing rest for man yet himself not having where to lay his head; for Christ pleased no himself. Nor would he enter upon his inheritance, till by his obedienc to death he secured the eternal inheritance for all his people; no will he account his own glory completed, till every ransomed sinner is put in possession of his heavenly rest __________________________________________________________________
