Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament is the present Zerîn, on the north-west of the mountains of Gilboa (see Seetzen , ii. pp. 155-6; Rob. iii. pp. 161ff.; Van de Velde , R. ii. pp. 320ff.). Chesulloth , possibly the same as Chisloth-tabor (see at v. 12). Sunem , the home of Abishag (1 Kings 1:3-15, etc.), also mentioned in 1 Sam 28:4 and 2 Kings 4:8, was situated, according to the Onom. , five Roman miles (two hours) to the south of Tabor; it is the present Solam or Sulem , at the south-western foot of the Duhy or Little Hermon, an hour and a half to the north of Jezreel (see Rob. iii. pp. 170ff.; Van de Velde , R. ii. p. 323). Verse 19. Haphraim , according to the Onom. ( s. v. Aphraim ) villa Affaraea , six Roman miles to the north of Legio, is identified by Knobel with the village of Afuleh , on the west of Sulem, and more than two hours to the north-east of Legun ( Rob. iii. pp. 163, 181). Sion , according to the Onom. villa juxta montem Thabor , has not yet been discovered. Anaharath is supposed by Knobel to be Na'urah , on the eastern side of the Little Hermon (Bibl. Res. p. 337); but he regards the text as corrupt, and following the Cod. Al. of the LXX, which has Chena'th and Arrhane'th , maintains that the reading should be Archanath , to which Arâneh on the north of Jenin in the plain corresponds ( Seetzen , ii. p. 156; Rob. iii. p. 157). But the circumstance that the Cod. Al. has two names instead of one makes its reading very suspicious. Verse 20. Harabbit is supposed by Knobel to be Araboneh , on the north-east of Arâneh, at the southern foot of Gilboa ( Rob. iii. p. 157). Kishion , which was given up to the Levites (Josh 21:28) and is erroneously written Kedesh in 1 Chron 6:57, is unknown. This also applies to Abez or Ebez , which is never mentioned again. Verse 21. Remeth , for which Jarmuth stands in the list of Levitical towns in Josh 21:29, and Ramoth in 1 Chron http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos117.html (2 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:05 p.m.]
Keil and Delitzsch <strong>Commentary</strong> on the Old Testament 6:58, is also unknown. (Note: Knobel imagines Remeth , whose name signifies height, to be the village of Wezar , on one of the western peaks of Gilboa ( Seetzen , ii. p. 156; Rob. iii. p. 166, and Bibl. Res. p. 339), as the name also signifies "a lofty, inaccessible mountain, or a castle situated upon a mountain." This is certainly not impossible, but it is improbable. For this Mahometan village evidently derived its name from the fact that it has the appearance of a fortification when seen from a distance (see Ritter , Erdk. xv. p. 422). The name has nothing in common therefore with the Hebrew Remeth , and the travellers quoted by him say nothing at all about the ruins which he mentions in connection with Wezar (Wusar).) En-gannim, which was also allotted to the Levites (Josh 21:29; also 1 Chr. 5:58 , where it is called Anem ), has been associated by Robinson (iii. p. 155) with the Ginai'a of Josephus , the present Jenin. The name En-gannim signifies fountain of gardens, and Jenin stands at the southern side of the plain of Jezreel in the midst of gardens and orchards, which are watered by a copious spring (see Seetzen , ii. pp. 156ff.); "unless perhaps the place referred to is the heap of ruins called Um el Ghanim , on the south-east of Tabor, mentioned by Berggren , ii. p. 240, and Van de Velde , Mem. p. 142" ( Knobel ). En-chadda and Beth-pazzez are only mentioned here, and have not yet been discovered. According to Knobel , the former of the two may possibly be either the place by Gilboa called Judeideh , with a fountain named Ain Judeideh ( Rob. Bibl. Res. p. 337), or else Beit-kad or Kadd near Gilboa, mentioned by Seetzen (ii. p. 159) and Robinson (iii. p. 157). Verse 22-23. "And the boundary touched Tabor, Sahazim, and Beth-shemesh." Tabor is not the mountain of that name, but a town upon the mountain, which was given to the Levites, though not by Issachar but by Zebulun (1 Chron 6:62), and was fortified afresh in the Jewish wars ( Josephus , Bell. Jud. iv. 1, 8). In this passage, however, it appears to be reckoned as belonging to Issachar, since otherwise there are not sixteen cities named. At the same time, as there are several discrepancies between the numbers given and the names actually mentioned, it is quite possible that in this instance also the number sixteen is incorrect. In any case, Tabor was upon the border of Zebulun (v. 12), so that it might have been allotted to this tribe. There are still the http://207.44.232.113/~bible/comment/ot/k&d/josh/jos118.html (1 of 2) [13/08/2004 01:19:07 p.m.]
