Joshua 17:11

_ _ Beth-shean and her townsGreek, “Scythopolis” (now Beisan), in the valley of the Jordan, towards the east end of the plain of Jezreel. “Beth-shean” means “house of rest,” so called from its being the halting place for caravans travelling between Syria or Midian, and Egypt, and the great station for the commerce between these countries for many centuries.

_ _ Ibleam and her towns — in the neighborhood of Megiddo (2 Kings 9:27).

_ _ the inhabitants of Dor and her towns — (now Tantoura), anciently a strong fortress; a wall of wild precipitous rock defended the shore fortifications against attack from the land side.

_ _ En-dor and her towns — situated on a rocky eminence, four Roman miles south of Tabor.

_ _ Taanach and ... Megiddo — These were near to each other, and they are generally mentioned in Scripture together. They were both royal and strongly fortified places (see on Judges 1:27).

_ _ three countries — districts or provinces. It is computed that Manasseh possessed in Asher and Issachar portions of ground to the extent of more than two hundred square miles.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Joshua 17:7-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Joshua 17:11

Manasseh had in Issachar and in Asher — As Ephraim had some cities in the tribe of Manasseh, and as it was not unusual, when the place allotted to any tribe was too narrow for it, and the next too large, to give away part from the larger to the less portion; nay, sometimes one whole tribe was taken into another; as Simeon's was into Judah's portion, when it was found too large for Judah. Inhabitants of Dor — Not the places only, but the people; whom they spared and used for servants. Three countries — The words may be rendered, the third part of that country; and so the meaning may be, that the cities and towns here mentioned are a third part of that country, that is, of that part of Issachar's and Asher's portion, in which those places lay.
