Joshua 19:38
And Iron, and Migdalel, Horem, and Bethanath, and Bethshemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.
And Iron,.... Of Iron no mention is made elsewhere;
and Migdalel, which Jerom calls Magdiel, he says {m} was shown a small village, five miles from Dara, as you go to Ptolemais;
and Horem is not mentioned anywhere elsewhere;
and Bethanath; Jerom also relates {n}, that Bathana, in the tribe of Naphtali, was a village that went by the name of Betbanes, fifteen miles from Caesarea;
and Bethshemesh was another city, in which was a temple dedicated to the sun, when inhabited by the Canaanites; see Joshua 19:22; and so in Bethanath there might be a temple dedicated to some deity, though now uncertain what:
nineteen cities with their villages; there are more mentioned, but some of them might be only boundaries, and so belonged to another tribe.
