JFB: Jos 13:2-6 - This is the land that yet remaineth

That is, to be acquired. This section forms a parenthesis, in which the historian briefly notices the districts yet unsubdued; namely, first, the whole country of the Philistines--a narrow tract stretching about sixty miles along the Mediterranean coast, and that of the Geshurites to the south of it (1Sa 27:8). Both included that portion of the country "from Sihor, which is before Egypt," a small brook near El-Arish, which on the east was the southern boundary of Canaan, to Ekron, the most northerly of the five chief lordships or principalities of the Philistines.

Giblites : Probably the inhabitants of the country, around Gebal (Eze 27:9), or Byblos, as the LXX render, a city of Phoenicia, situated on the Mediterranean, between Sidon and Tripoli, on the north of the river Adonis. It is now called Gibyle, of Djebail, situated about a day’ s journey south of Tripoli. Its walls are about a mile in circumference, with square towers about every forty yards’ distance. Anciently it must have been a place of no mean extent and of considerable beauty, from the ruins still visible. 1Ki 5:18 *marg. Psa 83:7; Eze 27:9

Gill: Jos 13:5 - And the land of the Giblites // and all Lebanon toward the sunrising // from Baalgad, under Mount Hermon // unto the entering into Hamath

And the land of the Giblites,.... This was another country that remained unconquered; the Greeks call it Byblus, and near to which Pliny ^e speaks of a place called Gabale, and is now called Gibyle; it is ^f said to be"pleasantly situated by the seaside, and at present it contains but a little extent of ground, but yet more than enough for the small number of its inhabitants:''it was in greater splendour, and its inhabitants of more fame, in the times of Ezekiel, Eze 27:9,

and all Lebanon toward the sunrising; or east of the land; all that inhabited that mountain remained unconquered, though the conquest was carried as far as the borders thereof:

from Baalgad, under Mount Hermon; of which see Jos 11:17;

unto the entering into Hamath: which was the north border of the land; see Num 34:8.
