Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 19:42
Verse 42. Shaalabbin] The foxes. Of this city the Amorites kept constant possession. See Judg. i. 35. Ajalon] There was a place of this name about two miles from Nicopolis or Emmaus, on the road to Jerusalem. - Calmet.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 42. And Shaalabbin , etc.] The first of these is the same with Shaalbim, ( Judges 1:35); and which Jerom calls Selab, in the tribe of Dan; and which he says was in his day shown a large village on the borders of Sebaste, by the name of Selaba. and Ajalon is famous for the standing still of the moon in its valley while Joshua pursued his enemies, (see Gill on “ Joshua 10:12”); and Jethlah , of which we read nowhere else.
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 __________________________________________________________________
