And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward, etc.] Which was one of the principalities of the Philistines; and which, though it fell to the lot of Judah, (<061545>Joshua 15:45), was not possessed by them: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to Mount Baalah; of which places we have no account elsewhere: and went unto Jabneel; which Masius makes no doubt was one of the Jamnias, and particularly that which was a seaport; which Strabo says f322 was distant from Azotus and Ashkelon about two hundred furlongs, or twenty five miles: and the goings out of the border were at the sea; the Mediterranean sea; here the northern border ended.
