Commentary
And out of the half tribe of Manasseh, Taanach with her suburbs,.... Of which see
Jos 17:10
,
and Gathrimmon with her suburbs, there was a city of this name in Dan, as in
Jos 21:24
; nor was it unusual for cities to be called by the same name in different tribes:
two cities; these are called Aner and Bilean in
Ch1 6:70
; in process of time cities changed their names; two cities were a proper proportion for this half tribe; two more were given out of the other half tribe on the other side Jordan, as appears by what follows.
