Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Joshua 19:5
And Ziklag, and Beth-marcaboth, and Hazar-susah,
5. 9. Ziklag ] See ch. Jos 15:31, identified by Rowlands and Wilton ( Negeb, p. 209) with Asloodg or Kasloodg; ( a) Achish bestowed the town upon David; ( b) here David resided upwards of one year and four months ( 1Sa 27:7 ; 1Sa 30:14; 1Sa 30:26); ( c) here he received the news of Saul’s death (2Sa 1:1; 2Sa 4:10); 10. Beth-marcaboth = “house of chariots,” and 11. Hazar-susah = “village of horses,” appear to be the old names of Madmannah and Sansannah (see ch. Jos 15:31). These names indicate, remarks Dean Stanley, “that they were stations of passage, like those which now are to be seen on the great line of Indian transit between Cairo and Suez,” we recognise in them “the dpots and stations for the ‘horses’ and ‘chariots,’ such as those which in Solomon’s time went to and fro between Egypt and Palestine.” Sinai and Palestine, p. 160;

Verse 5. Beth-marcaboth] The house or city of chariots. Probably a place where their war-chariots and cavalry were laid up.

And Ziklag,…. Another of the cities of Judah,
[See comments on Jos 15:31];
and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah; or Hazarsusim, as in 1Ch 4:31; the one signifies a chariot house, and the other a court or stable for horses, which made Bochart conjecture a, that they were places where Solomon kept his chariots and horses; but it should be observed that these were the names by which these places went in the times of the old Canaanites; and seem to me rather where some of their kings had their horses and chariots; or rather where there were temples dedicated to the horses and chariots of the sun; see 2Ki 23:11.
