This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Judah; the two tribes, or kingdom of Judah.



The land of Israel; the kingdom of Israel, or the ten tribes until their dispersion.



Minnith; the name of some rich and excellent wheat country; it is mentioned in Jud_11:33, on occasion of Jephthah’s slaying the Ammonites, as lying on their borders, and it is said there is a town of that name still in being about four miles from Esbus, (or Sabasant as now called,) in the way toward Philadelphia, formerly Rubbath.



Pannag: some doubt whether this be a proper name of any country or region, but if it is, they conclude it must be Phenicia, but do not tell us how Judah and Israel should trade their wheat in Tyre market; it may be it was some more obscure place, which now is forgotten. Honey; with which Canaan flowed.



Oil; in making and selling whereof the labour, care, and profit of that country did lie.



Balm; the choicest balms were those of Gilead, whence it is probable it was carried to Tyre; or it may be it was rosin, of which they had great use. The Chaldee paraphrast interprets it by the word that denotes wax, and so it may possibly be; a good commodity in Tyre.
