And Jiphtah,.... Jiphtah is nowhere else mentioned:
and Ashnah; there was another Ashnah of this tribe, and which was in the vale also, met with already in Joshua 15:33,
and Nezib was in Jerom's (a) times called Nasib, seven miles from Eleutheropolis, as you go to Hebron.
(a) De loc. Hebrews. fol. 93. I.

Jiphtah, Ashnah, and Nezib have not yet been traced. Beit-nesib, to the east of Beit-jibrin on the Wady Sur (Rob. ii. p. 344, and iii. p. 13), the Neesib of the Onom., seven Roman miles to the east of Eleutheropolis, does not suit this group so far as its situation is concerned, as it lies within the limits of the first group.
