The Pulpit Commentary on Joshua 19:27

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Beth-dagon. We learn that Dagon, the fish-god, was worshipped here as well as in the south of Palestine (see Joshua 15:41). The Valley of Jiphthah-el. This valley, or gai, is mentioned above, Joshua 19:14, as the extreme northern border of Zebulun.

Cabul. We read of a Cabul in 1 Kings 9:11-13, but it can hardly be this place, though clearly not far off. For we read that the name given to that territory was given then by Hiram. There is a κωμὴ χαβωλώ πτολεμαίδος μεθόριον οὗσα mentioned by Josephus.

There is a village four hours northeast of Acre, which still bears this name.
