Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 19:20

And Rabbith, and Kishion, and Abez,

20, 21. Rabbith, Kishion (1Ch 6:72), Abez, Remeth (1Ch 6:73), are all unknown.

En-gannim ] = the spring of the gardens, the modern Jenn. Even now it justifies its ancient name; for the village lies, according to Robinson, Bib. Res. iii. 155, “in the midst of gardens of fruit trees, which are surrounded by hedges of the prickly pear.” But its most remarkable feature is a flowing, public fountain, rising in the hills at the back of the town, and brought down so that it issues in a copious stream in the midst of the place. Ahaziah was driving towards the mountain-pass by En-gannim (2Ki 9:27 the Bethgan of the LXX. = En-gannim), when he was overtaken by Jehu, and fled to die of his wounds at Megiddo.

En-haddah and Beth-pazzez are not known.

And Rabbith,…. The first of these Jerom calls a Rabboth in the tribe of Issachar;

and Kishion, as Masius notes, seems to given name to the river Kishon near it; some take it to be the same with Kedesh, 1Ch 6:72;

and Abez, of which no mention is made elsewhere.
