It is probable however that Hamath<\/em> as the name of a city belonged to more than one place, and Hamath-Zobah may be a southern namesake of the well-known Hamath the great (Amo 6:2<\/span>).<\/p>\n Though Solomon was a “man of rest” (1Ch 22:9<\/span>) his reign was not wholly free from war (cp. 1Ki 11:14<\/span>; 1Ki 11:13<\/span>).<\/p>\n Hamath-zobah – <\/B>Usually identified with the great Hamath Amo 6:2<\/span>; the capital of Coele-Syria; but probably a town of Zobah otherwise unknown, which revolted from Solomon, and was reduced to subjection.<\/P> <\/p>\n Verse 3<\/span>.

Itsking, Toi, had been the ally of David; but from the combination,Hamath and Zobah, it would appear that some revolution had takenplace which led to the union of these two petty kingdoms of Syriainto one. For what cause the resentment of Solomon was provokedagainst it, we are not informed, but he sent an armed force whichreduced it. He made himself master also of Tadmor, the famous Palmyrain the same region. Various other cities along the frontiers of hisextended dominions he repaired and fitted up, either to serve asstore-places for the furtherance of his commercial enterprises, or tosecure his kingdom from foreign invasion (see on 2Ch1:14<\/span>; 1Ki 9:15<\/span>). <\/P> 2Ch8:7-11<\/span>.

Solomons conquest of the kingdom of Hamath, which had been on terms of amity with David, is not mentioned in 1 Kings 9<\/span>; nor indeed anywhere else in the Old Testament. Thenius (on 2Ki. 14:25<\/span>) supposes that the text describes not a conquest of Hamath itself, but only the annexation of part of its territory; viz., a part of the highly fruitful plain of Cle-Syria, called by the Arabs Ard-el-Beqa.<\/em> This appears to be correct.<\/p>\n Against it.<\/strong>Or, over it<\/em> (a late construction, 2Ch. 27:5<\/span>; Dan. 11:5<\/span>).<\/p>\n 2Ch 8:3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and prevailed against it.<\/p>\n Ver. 3.
