14 and the border hath been marked out, and hath gone round to the corner of the sea southward, from the hill which 'is' at the front of Beth-Horon southward, and its outgoings have been unto Kirjath-Baal (it 'is' Kirjath-Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah: this 'is' the west quarter.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Joshua 18:14
Commentary on Joshua 18:11-28
(Read Joshua 18:11-28)
The boundaries of each portion were distinctly drawn, and the inheritance of each tribe settled. All contests and selfish claims were prevented by the wise appointment of God, who allotted the hill and the valley, the corn and pasture, the brooks and rivers, the towns and cities. Is the lot of any servant of Christ cast in affliction and sorrow? It is the Lord; let him do what seemeth him good. Are we in prosperity and peace? It is from above. Be humbled when you compare the gift with your own unworthiness. Forget not Him that gave the good, and always be ready to resign it at his command.
