This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Laish: Jos 19:47, called Leshem
how they: Jdg 18:27-28; Rev 18:7
magistrate: Heb. possessor, or, heir of restraint, 1Sa 3:13; 1Ki 1:6; Rom 13:3; 1Pe 2:14
and had no: In the most correct copies of the LXX this clause stands thus; και λογος ουκ ην αυτοις μετα Συριας; "and they had no transactions with Syria;" evidently reading instead of אדם [Strong's H120], adam, man, ארם [Strong's H758], aram, Syria; words so nearly similar that the only difference between them is in the ר, raish, and ד, daleth, which in both manuscripts and printed books is sometimes indiscernible. Laish was situated on the frontiers of Syria.
