Joshua 19:36 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

And Adamah, and Ramah, and Hazor,

Adamah, [Septuagint, Armaith]. It was probably situated on the northwest of the lake.

Ramah. Robinson ('Biblical Researches,' 3:, p 133) found a place on the heights north of the lake Tiberias, called Rameh, which may be the modern representative of the town of Naphtali (cf. Van de Velde, 1:, p. 285).

Hazor, [Septuagint, Asoor.] The association of this town with Ramah and Kedesh, south of which it lay (cf. 2 Kings 15:29; Josephus, 'Antiquities,' b. 5:, ch. 1:, sec. 18), clearly points it out to be the capital of Jabin, the metropolis of the north of Canaan, in the plain of Huleh. It is supposed by Porter ('Handbook' p. 434) to have occupied the site of the ancient ruin called Kasyun, but by Van de Velde (1:, pp. 178, 179) to be Hazur or Haziri, one of the most extensive collections of ruins he met with anywhere.
