Guard, Court of the (Place)
[Heb ḥăṣar hammaṭṭārâ]. A place within the palace complex where prisoners were confined. However, all biblical references to this place are in the book of Jeremiah, and attest to the dire circumstances at the time of the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. Jeremiah, who was confined there (32:8, 12; 33:1
Eleutherus (Place)
[Gk Eleutheros]. A river in ancient Syria to which Jonathan marched with Ptolemy king of Egypt (1 Macc 11:7). Later, Jonathan routed the forces of Demetrius, but was unable to overtake them before they crossed this river (12:30). Both passages seem to suggest that the river constituted part of a pol
Forest of Lebanon, House of the (Place)
[Heb bêt ya ʿar hallĕbānôn]. Part of Solomon’s palace complex (1 Kgs 7:2 – 5). It was probably a separate building (Heb bêt) not attached to the building whose compartments were the Hall of Pillars, the Hall of the Throne (or Hall of Judgment), and the private living quarters of the royal family (vv
Gebim (Place)
[Heb gēbîm]. A town whose inhabitants fled as the Assyrian army marched S toward Jerusalem (Isa 10:31). In the poetic oracle of Isaiah it is placed between Anathoth and Nob, suggesting that it lies somewhere ca. 2–3 miles N and perhaps E of Jerusalem.
Dimnah (Place)
[Heb dimnâ] Var. RIMMONO. One of the cities in the tribe of Zebulun given to the Levitical family of Merari (Josh 21:35). The apparent parallel in 1 Chr 6:62 [–Eng 6:77] reads Rimmono (Heb rmwnw), suggesting that the original may have been RIM MON, a Zebulunite town mentioned in Josh 19:13, and that
Gidom (Place)
[Heb gidʿōm]. According to the RSV (Judg 20:45), the name of a place near the rock of Rimmon where the Israelites slew the last two thousand Benjaminites (more likely the last “two contingents [Heb ʾalpayim] of men”) in the civil war that followed the rape of the Levite’s concubine (Judges 19–20, es
Debir (Place)
[Heb dĕbîr]. Three towns mentioned in the OT bear this name.1. A town in the S hill country of Judah listed in the roster of cities that Joshua captured and utterly destroyed (Josh 10:38–39). It was governed by a king (10:39; 12:13). Joshua 15 preserves the tradition that Othniel the son of Kenaz ca
Giloh (Place)
[Heb gilo]. Var. GILO. GILONITE. One of eleven towns in the hill country of Judah, located in the general vicinity of Debir (Josh 15:51). It was also the hometown of Ahithophel, one of David’s counselors (2 Sam 15:12; 23:34) who played a key role in Absalom’s revolt against David. The town is often
Esek (Place)
[Heb ʿēseq]. The name given to a well dug by the servants of Isaac (Gen 26:20). The name means “contention,” “strife,” “hostility” and is based on the tradition of conflicts between Isaac’s herdsmen and those of Gerar over rights to its water (Matthews 1986). The exact location of the well is, of co
En-Eglaim (Place)
[Heb ʿên ʿeglayim]. A place ap parently on the shore of the Dead Sea mentioned in Ezekiel’s eschatological vision of the life-giving river flowing from the temple (Ezek 47:1–12). In that vision, the water flows S and E from Jerusalem (i.e., down the Kidron Valley) to the Arabah, freshening the once
Covenant
Goah (Place)
[Heb gōʿātâ]. An area in the vicinity of Jerusalem mentioned in connection with Jeremiah’s eschatological vision of the restored and resanctified Jerusalem (31:39). Its location is unknown, although the context of the biblical passage suggests that it was likely S and E of GAREB, but presumably stil
Hammath (Place)
[Heb ḥammat]. Var. HAMMOTH-DOR; HAMMON. One of the fortified cities of the tribe of Naphtali (Josh 19:35). Aharoni has suggested that Hammath was #34 in the hypothetical original list of Levitical cities on which the Joshua 21 and 1 Chronicles 6 lists were based (LBHG, 304), although in those lists
