Joshua 13:2

the land that yet remaineth It is described as lying partly (a) in the south(Joshua 13:3), and partly (b) in the north(Joshua 13:5). The cities still occupied by the Canaanites were left for reduction by the tribes into whose allotment they might severally fall.

all the borders of the Philistines Literally, all the circles of the Philistines. Vulgate, "Galilæa Philisthiim;" "Galilee of the Philistines," Luther. "Galile Philistym," Wyclif. The unsubdued district commences on the south with the Shephêlah and the maritime plain. The Philistines are now first prominently mentioned. Since the time of Abraham (Genesis 21:32; Genesis 21:34; Genesis 26:1; Genesis 26:8), this people had been transformed from a pastoral tribe to a settled and powerful nation, and had advanced northwards into "the plain of Philistia" or the "Shephêlah," so well suited for war chariots, and offering by its occasional elevations secure sites for towns and strongholds.

and all Geshuri The Geshurites, not the country mentioned in chs. Joshua 12:5; Joshua 13:13, but an ancient tribe, which dwelt in the desert between Arabia and Philistia. See 1 Samuel 27:8.
