23 So Joshua took the whole land, according to all that the Lord had said unto Moses: and Joshua gave it for an inheritance unto Israel, according to their portions, through their tribes: then the land was at rest without war.

For this purpose the places and regions are reckoned up, that we may know, that God proceeded with a continual course in that work which he began.

Wherefore, the singular number is put for the plural: because the mountains of the ten tribes are compared with the mountains of Judah. Therefore this opposition must be understood. In the other hill the name is doubtful, some take it for a division, as though the hill were cut in two parts, other for smooth, because it was without trees, like as a mans head becometh smooth with baldness.
