It is now called Yebna, and is described as \"a village about twelve miles distant from Jaffa (Joppa), in a fine open plain, surrounded by hills, and covered by herbage. On sloping hills of easy ascent, by which the plains were bordered, Yebna, Ekron, Ashdod, and Askalon were in sight.\"\nabout: or, in the country of, Sa1 5:1, Sa1 5:6\nGod helped: Ch2 14:11; Ch1 5:20, Ch1 12:18; Psa 18:29, Psa 18:34, Psa 18:35; Isa 14:29; Act 26:22\nthe Arabians: Ch2 17:11, Ch2 21:16\nthe Ammonites: Ch2 20:1; Gen 19:38; Deu 2:19; Jdg 11:15-18; Sa1 11:1; Sa2 8:2\nhis name: Gen 12:2; Sa2 8:13; Kg1 4:31; Mat 4:24\nspread: Heb. went\nthe corner gate: Ch2 25:23; Kg2 14:13; Jer 31:38; Zac 14:10\nthe valley gate: Neh 3:13, Neh 3:19, Neh 3:32\nthe turning: Neh 3:20, Neh 3:24\nfortified: or, repaired\ndigged many wells: or, cut out many cisterns, Gen 26:18-21\nhe had much: Kg2 3:4; Ch1 27:26-31\nCarmel: or, fruitful fields, Kg2 19:23; Isa 29:17\nhusbandry: Heb. ground\nwent out: Kg2 5:2\nan army: Heb. the power of an army\nthree hundred: Ch2 11:1, Ch2 13:3, Ch2 14:8, Ch2 17:14-19\nslings to cast stones: Heb. stones of slings, Jdg 20:16; Sa1 17:49\ncunning men: Ch2 2:7, Ch2 2:14; Exo 31:4\nto shoot arrows: These engines, it is probable, bore some resemblance to the baliste and catapulte of the Romans, which were employed for throwing stones and arrows, and were in reality the mortars and carcasses of antiquity. With respect to the towers which Uzziah built in the wilderness (Ch2 26:10), Mr. Harmer appears to have given a truer view of the subject than commentators in general have done, who suppose that they were conveniences made only for sheltering the shepherds from bad weather, or to defend them from incursions of enemies; for they might rather be designed to keep the nations that pastured there in awe, and also to induce them quietly to pay the tribute to which the Ch2 26:8 seems to refer. William of Tyre describes a country not far from the Euphrates as inhabited by Syrian and Armenian Christians, who fed great flocks and herds there, but were kept in subjection to the Turks, in consequence of their living among them in strong places.\nspread far: Heb. went forth, Mat 4:24\nwhen he was: Ch2 25:19, Ch2 32:25; Deu 8:14, Deu 8:17, Deu 32:13-15; Pro 16:18; Hab 2:4; Col 2:18\nwent into: Kg2 16:12, Kg2 16:13\nto burn: Num 16:1, Num 16:7, Num 16:18, Num 16:35; Kg1 12:33, Kg1 13:1-4\nAzariah: Ch1 6:10\nvaliant men: Ch1 12:28, Ch1 26:6\nwithstood Uzziah: Ch2 16:7-9, Ch2 19:2; Jer 13:18; Mat 10:18, Mat 10:28, Mat 14:4; Co2 5:16; Gal 2:11\nnot unto thee: Num 16:40, Num 16:46-48, Num 18:7\nto the priests: Exo 30:7, Exo 30:8; Heb 5:4\ngo out: Co1 5:5\nneither shall it be: Sa1 2:30; Dan 4:37; Joh 5:44; Jam 2:1\nhasted also: Est 6:12\nthe Lord: Lev 14:34; Deu 28:22, Deu 28:35\nam 3239-3246, bc 765-758\nUzziah: Kg2 15:5\ndwelt: Lev 13:46; Num 5:2, Num 5:3, Num 12:15; Kg2 7:3\nseveral: Heb. free\nam 3246, bc 758\nthey buried him: Ch2 26:18, Ch2 21:20, Ch2 28:27, Ch2 33:20","title":"Treasury of Scriptural Knowledge: 2 Chronicles: 2 Chronic...","type":"page"}
