(6) And Baalath.1Ki. 9:18. Like the two Beth-horons, it lay west of Jerusalem, and was a bulwark against the Philistines: (Comp. Jos. 19:44, a Danite town.) The rest of this verse is identical with 1Ki. 9:19, which see. (Chronicler has twice added all.)
In the above section no mention is made of the fortification of Jerusalem, and the building of Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer, which last city had been taken by Pharaoh, and given by him to his daughter, Solomons wife. (See 1Ki. 9:15-16.) On the other hand, as we have seen, the chronicler supplies several important details which are wanting in the parallel account.
