Matthew Poole and continuators on Joshua 11:8

8 And the LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, who smote them, and chased them unto † great Zidon , and unto † Misrephoth-main , and unto the valley of Mispeh eastward, and they smote them, until they left them none remaining.

A great and famous City in the Northwest part of Canaan, and upon the Sea.

A place not far from Zidon, supposed to be so called from the Salt or Glass which they made there.

Under Mount Hermon, as appears by comparing this with v. 3. and 17. where it seems to be called the valley of Lebanon. This lay on the East, as Sidon did on the West; and so it seems they fled several ways, and the Israelites also divided themselves into two Bodies, one pursuing East, and the other West.
