Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 18:8
Likewise from Tibhath, and from Chun, cities of Hadarezer, brought David very much brass, wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.
8. Likewise from ] R.V. and from.
Tibhath ] Cp. Tebah, the name of an Araman family, Gen 22:24. Nothing is known certainly of the position of the city; but cp. Sayce, Higher Criticism, p. 317. In 2Sa 8:8 Betah (= Tebah).
Chun ] R.V. Cun; 2Sa 8:8, “Berothai.” Nothing is certainly known of a city of either name; but “Berothai” may be the same as “Berothah” (Eze 47:16).
very much brass ] Cp. 1Ch 22:14 ; 1Ch 29:2.
brass ] Not the metal generally so called. R.V. (mg. note to Gen 4:22) gives copper as an alternative rendering. The “brass” of the ancients ( , LXX.) corresponded rather to bronze.
the brasen sea, etc.] Cp. 2Ch 4:11-18.

Tibhath and Chun; for which, 2Sa 8:8, Betah and Berothai are mentioned. Either therefore they were the same places called by several names, as is usual; or they were four neighbouring places, out of all which the brass was taken, whereof two places having been named there are omitted here, and the other two places there omitted are here remembered.

8. from Tibhath and from ChunTheseplaces are called Betah and Berothai (2Sa8:8). Perhaps the one might be the Jewish, the other the Syrian,name of these towns. Neither their situation nor the connectionbetween them is known. The Arabic version makes them to be Emesa (nowHems) and Baal-bek, both of which agree very well with the relativeposition of Zobah.

(8) Tibhath, and . . . Chun.Two unknown places. The names in Samuel are Betah and Berothai. Tebah occurs as an Aramean name in Gen. 22:24, of which Tibhath is a feminine form, and Betah probably a corruption. Syriac, Tbah and Brthi in both places. So Arabic of Samuel, Tbh and Barti (here Himsa and Baalbec, probably by way of an explanation). The readings of the LXX., Metebak (or Masbach) in Samuel, and Matebeth here, support Tebah. Vulgate in Samuel, Bete, but here Thebath, obviously equivalent to Tibhath. Chun is doubtless corrupt. All the versions support Berothai (LXX., chosen cities; comp. Heb., brth) except Arabic and Vulg. here.
Much brass.Copper (as Job. 28:2), or bronze (an alloy of copper and tin, which was well known to the ancients). Samuel, copper in abundance (harbh), an older form of expression.
Wherewith Solomon made . . .Not in the Hebrew of Samuel, though LXX. adds it.

Tibhath. Called also Beta and Berothai (2Sa 8:8): unless the four names represent four cities.
the pillars: i.e. the two pillars afterward made by Solomon (1Ki 7:15, 1Ki 7:21; 2Ch 3:15-17).
