Joshua traces the northern boundary of Judahs tribal allotment from Ekron northward through Shikkeron Mount Baalah and Jabneel out to the Mediterranean — fixing the strategic frontier between Judahs Shephelah and the Philistine coastal plain.
Joshua 15:11 traces the northern boundary of Judah's tribal inheritance: "And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea." The line ran from the contested Philistine stronghold of Ekron west through Shikkeron and Mount Baalah to Jabneel near the Mediterranean — fixing the strategic frontier between Judah's western Shephelah and the Philistine coastal plain. The boundary changed hands many times between Judahite and Philistine control across the judges and monarchy eras.
