John Gill Commentary Joshua 19:34

"and the border turned westward to Aznoth-tabor, and went out from thence to Hukkok; and it reached to Zebulun on the south, and reached to Asher on the west, and to Judah at the Jordan toward the sunrising." — Joshua 19:34 (ASV)

And [then] the coast turns westward to Aznothtabor
This was the southern border, reaching from east to west; it began at Aznothtabor, which Jerom ^F7 says was a village in his time belonging to the country of Diocaesarea, in the plains; there is another place called Chislothtabor, on the borders of Zebulun, (Joshua 19:12);

and goes out from there to Hukkok :
there the southern border ended, which was in the border of Asher, and is the same with Helkath, (Joshua 19:25); with which compare (1 Chronicles 6:75);

and reaches to Zebulun on the south side, and reaches to Asher on
the west side and to Judah upon Jordan towards the sunrising ;
so that as it was bounded by Lebanon, on the north, near to which some of the cities were, mentioned in (Joshua 19:33), it had Zebulun on the south, Asher on the west, and Jordan to the east.

For by Judah is not meant the tribe of Judah, from which Naphtali was at a great distance, but a city so called, as Fuller ^F8 seems rightly to conjecture.
