Here and in the following verses are contained all the cities of the Philistines, among which are Gath and Askelon, which peradventure are here omitted, because they were not at this time places of such power and eminency as afterwards they were, but were the daughters of some of these following cities, though afterwards the daughter might overtop the mother, as is usual.

Ekron, with her towns and her villages. Literally, her daughters and her farm hamlets. (see note on Jos_13:28) These cities of the Philistines had, like Gibeon, daughter cities dependent on them, and must therefore have been, like Gibeon, "great cities as the royal cities". (Jos_10:2) They do not appear to have come under regal government till later times. (cf. 1Sa_5:8, 1Sa_5:11, with 1Sa_27:2) "Around it (Gezer) and along the sides were distributed a series of small isolated centres of agglomeration... This disposition to scatter itself, of which Gezer surely does not offer us the only specimen, explains in a striking manner the Biblical phrase, "the city and her daughters (Pal. Expl. Fund, Quart. Paper, Jan., 1874). This explanation, however, is doubtful. (see Jos_9:17) According to Knobel, this passage cannot have been written by the Elohist, because he confines himself to the description of the cities the Israelites actually possessed. Why a lair writer, writing presumably when Israel"s fortunes were at a lower ebb, should have added a description of the territory Israel did not possess, he does not explain.
