Commentary on Joshua 19:252 voices
And their border was Helkath,.... Helkath seems to be the same with Hukok, 1Ch 6:75; and according to Masius it lay ten or twelve miles above Ptolemais: and Hali, of which we read nowhere else. and Beten is by Jerom (h) called Bathne, and was in his time a village by the name of Bethebem, eight miles from Ptolemais to the east.

Helkath, a Levitical town Jos 21:31, is probably Yerka, a village about seven or eight miles north-west of Acre, in a Wady of the same name. Alammelech was in the Wady Melik, which joins the Kishon from the northeast, not far from the sea. Shihor-libnath - i. e. black-white. The two words are now generally admitted to be the name of a river, probably the modern Nahr Zerka, or Blue River, which reaches the sea about 8 miles south of Dor, and whose name has a correspondence both to black and white.

The Lord commanded - Observe: the maintenance of ministers is not an arbitrary thing, left purely to the good will of the people. No: as the God of Israel commanded, that the Levites should be provided for, so hath the Lord Jesus ordained, (and a perpetual ordinance it is) that they who preach the gospel should live of the gospel.
