Ver. 43. Elon,—Thimnathah,—Ekron— Elon is thought to be the same with Holon, mentioned ch. Joshua 15:51. Thimnathah, seems to be a different place from Timnath, spoken of in the same chap. ver. 10 and 57. For, as we read in Joshua 14:5 that Samson went down to this city, which shews it to have been in a valley; so in Genesis 11:13 we read that Judah went up to Timnath to shear his sheep, which shews that city to have been upon a hill. Ekron, the capital of the Philistines, was at first given to the tribe of Judah. See ch. Joshua 15:45.
