Joshua 18:14
And the border was drawn thence, and compassed the corner of the sea southward, from the hill that lieth before Beth-horon southward; and the goings out thereof were at Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah: this was the west quarter.
The verse belongs to the account of the conquering of the Canaanites and the dividing and distributing of the land. The description draws on written records that accurately set out boundaries and property. In that sequence it comes after the account of Achan's sin and its fearful consequences.
The verse marks the west quarter or western boundary of the inheritance allotted to Benjamin. The boundary ran southward from the hill that lies before Beth-horon to Kirjath-baal. Kirjath-baal is also called Kirjath-jearim, a city of the children of Judah, and Benjamin's territory there adjoined Judah's territory. Jerusalem lay in Benjamin's territory.
