King Solomon’s Copper Supply
Jeroboam ben Nimshi
Jeroboam's II depiction in the Bible is short and largely inconspicuous. However, recent results from archaeology and historical geography allow us to apply to Jeroboam II some achievements that biblical writers attributed to other agents (notably Solomon and Jeroboam ben Nebat). Following this discussion, the present contribution will conclude by briefly considering the language and literature of Jeroboam's II Israel.

Dinhabah (Place)
[Heb dinhābâ]. The residence of the Edomite “king” Bela (Gen 36:32; 1 Chr 1:43). See bela. Bartlett (1965: 302–4), following Eusebius, located Dinhabah in Moab at either Dannea/Kh. ed-Denn (M.R. 221087), 7.5 miles N of er-Rabbah, or Danaba/Kh. el- Mhatta, W of Heshbon (see Mittmann 1971). These iden
Ephah (Person)
[Heb ʿêpâ]. Three persons in the OT, one of which (if not all three) was an Arabian tribe. If Ephah is a genuine personal name, it can be compared to Ar ǵayfâʾ and ǵâfah (a kind of tree); compare the Hebrew personal name Elon. This explanation does not, however, apply to (1) because of the Akkadian
Evi (Person)
[Heb ʾĕwī] A king of the Midianites (Num 31:8; Josh 13:21). The root ʾwy means “to seek shelter, refuge” in Canaanite and Arabic, and produces the personal names ʾwy (Phoenician, Safaitic, and ancient Syriac), ʾwyʾbʿcl (Punie), ʾwʾ (Ammonite), the tribal name ʾwym (Sabaic), and the place names ʾwm (
Eldaah (Person)
[Heb ʾēldā ʿâ]. A son of Midian (Gen 25:4; 1 Chr 1:33). Midian’s five “sons” as listed in Gen 25:4 comprise the clans, tribes, or people inhabiting the country of Midian. The list antedates 716 b.c. (Knauf 1988: 84–86). Eldaah means “God called.” The verb da ʿâ “to call” is specific to Arabic and an
Dishan (Person)
[Heb dî šān]. A son of Seir, the Horite (Gen 36:21; 1 Chr 1:38), brother of Dishon (Gen 36:21; 1 Chr 1:38), uncle of Dishon (Gen 36:25, 26 [read, with 1 Chr 1:41, Dishon instead of Dishan]), and the father of Uz and Aran (Gen 36:28; 1 Chr 1:42 [read Dishan instead of Dishon, but see below]). See als
Dizahab (Place)
[Heb dî zāhāb]. Referred to as the location of Moses’ “repetition of the law” (Deut 1:1). The name is a mixture of official Aramaic (dȋ “the one of”) and Hebrew (zāhāb “gold”); orthographically (dy instead of zy) the name cannot predate the 6th century b.c. The place remains unidentified, but three
East, People of the
[Heb bĕnȇ qedem]. “People of the East” is a literal and succinct translation of Heb bĕnȇ qedem. The expression occurs ten times in the OT. According to the place and time of the speaker, “people of the east” comprises various tribes and people. The geographical derivation of a generic ethnonym is no
Elihu (Person)
[Heb ʾĕlîhû, ʾĕlîhûʾ]. The name can be interpreted as “El/God it was indeed” (i.e., who acted when the child was born). With its elements inverted, the name is already attested at Ugarit (hwʾil; PTU, 134). M. Noth (IPN, 143–44) may, however, be right in his assumption that the name became a confessi
Epher (Person)
[Heb ʿeper]. Three eponymous ancestors of tribes or clans in the OT. As a personal name, Epher can be interpreted as a phonetic variant of Heb ʿδper, Ar gufr and gafr “kid of a gazelle” (or ibex). For the Midianite tribe (see #1), Sabaic ʿfr “agricultural land awaiting rain” provides a more fitting
Feinan, Wadi
Wadi Feinan is cut into the E escarpment of the Wadi Arabah, about halfway between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. Its catchment area is the depression of the Wadi el-Ghuweir that divides the Edomite plateau into two halves: el-Jibāl to the N and esh-Sharā to the S. The Wadi Feinan area includes
