Accho. — The seaport so famous under the names of Ptolemais (Acts 21:7; 1Ma. 5:15; 1Ma. 10:1), Acre, and St. Jean d’Acre (now Acca). Josephus called it Ako (Antt. ix. 14, § 2).
Zidon. — (Joshua 11:8.) Asher never succeeded in conquering Zidon, which was the capital of Phœnicia, though eclipsed by its neighbour Tyre. (2 Samuel 5:11; Isaiah 23; Jeremiah 27, 47; Matthew 11:22, &c.) It is now called Saida.
Ahlab. — An unknown town.
Achzib. — (See Joshua 19:29.) Better known as Ecdippa (Jos. B. J. i. 13, § 4), the modern Zib, about nine miles north of Akka. There was a less well-known Achzib in Judah (Chezib) — Genesis 38:5; Micah 1:14; Joshua 15:44.
Helbah. — The name is rendered “the coast” in Joshua 19:29. The site is unknown.
Aphik. — The Aphek of Joshua 19:30, now Afka (Robinson, Bible Res., 3:606). The name means “strength.” It was famous for a Temple of Venus, destroyed by Constantine. (Euseb. Vit. Const.) There seems to have been another Aphek near Hebron. (Joshua 12:18.)
Rehob. — A Levitical city (Joshua 21:31; 1 Chronicles 6:75).
