Jos 19:41 — And the coast of their inheritance was Zorah, and Eshtaol, and Irshemesh,
Phrase of Scripture   Correlating Passages TSK Help

Zorah   Situated on the frontiers of Dan and Judah, tens miles north from Eleutheropolis, towards Nicoplis, according to Eusebius, not far from Caphar Sorek. Jos 15:33; Zoreah. Jdg 13:2,25; Jdg 16:31; Jdg 18:2; 1Ch 2:53; 2Ch 11:10
Irshemesh   Supposed by some to be the same as Beth-shemesh in the tribe of Judah; but this latter city is evidently distinguished from it by being assigned by the tribe of Judah to the Levites. (Jos 21:16.) Ir-shemesh rendered [polis Sammaus] by the LXX., seems to be the same as Emmaus or Nicopolis, 22 miles south-east from Lydda, according to the Old Jerusalem Itinerary.
