Study note

Joshua 13:4–6

The Sidonians were also known as Phoenicians (see Isaiah 23:11; Obadiah 1:20; Acts 11:19). They lived along the northern coast from north of Mount Carmel to above Gebal (Byblos). They also lived in the Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon mountain ranges. Sidon was the main Phoenician city when Israel entered Canaan.
