John Gill Commentary Joshua 19:13

"and from thence it passed along eastward to Gath-hepher, to Eth-kazin; and it went out at Rimmon which stretcheth unto Neah;" — Joshua 19:13 (ASV)

And from thence passes on along on the east to Gittahhepher ,
&c.] Which was the native place of Jonah the prophet, (2 Kings 14:25) ; and where Jerome says ^F18 his grave was shown, and was a small village in his time two miles from Sippore, then called Diocaesarea,

to Ittahkazin ;
of this place we have no account elsewhere, but it was not far from the former:

and goeth out to Remmonmethoar to Neah ;
where the eastern border ended. Some versions make Remmonmethoar distinct places; but where either of them were exactly is not known: some, as the Targum, Jarchi, and Kimchi, render the word "Methoar which goes about"; that is, the border went about from Remmon to Neah, which by Jerome is called Anna, and who observes ^F19 , that there is another village called Anna, ten miles from Neapolis, as you go to Aelia; and by whom also Methoar is reckoned a distinct place, and called Amathar.
