Fausets
The city at the northern bound of Israel, as Beersheba was the southern, so that" from Dan even to Beersheba" (Jg 20:1, etc., and bitterly, 1Ch 21:2, "from Beersheba even to Dan") expresses the whole country. Originally Leshem or Laish, see above. "Far from Zidon, in the valley that lieth by Beth Rebob," but belonging to Zidon, as their living "after the manner of the Zidonians" implies; they were too far off for Zidon to help them when attacked by the Danites (Jg 18:7,28). Already in Abraham's time, the spot was called by him Dan, the scene of God's "judgment" on Chedorlaomer and the invaders (Ge 14:14; compare Isa 41:1-3).
But its ordinary name was even then Lasha or Laish, the north-eastern bound of Canaan, as Sodom was the southwestern bound (Ge 10:19). This too would be an additional reason for the Danites naming their city close by Abraham's camping ground, Daniel The repetition thrice of "the city" (Jg 18:28-29) marks that there was already another application of the name "Dan," namely, to Abraham's camping ground (compare De 34:1). Le Clerc suggests that the fountain was called Dan, "judge," as Ainmishpat means "the fount of justice." The city was smitten by Benhadad (1Ki 15:20, the last place of mentioning it).

The land is truly "a large land, where there is no want of anything that is on the earth" (Jg 18:10). In 1Ki 7:13-14, Hiram the worker in brass is said to be of Naphtali; but in 2Ch 2:13-14, he is called "son of a woman of Dan." As the "outgoings" of Naphtali were at Jordan, the city Dan probably was in the tribe of Naphtali.
So she dwelt in Naphtali, but was by birth of the Danite colony there. An undesigned mark of truth. The seeming discrepancy, thus cleared, powerfully disproves the possibility of collusion, and shows the witness of Kings and of Chronicles to be mutually independent and true. A place in S. Arabia from whence the Phoenicians obtained wrought iron, cassia, and calamus (Eze 27:19). "Dan also." Since none of the other places begin with "also" (Hebrew w?
