The exact positions of this and of the “brook” and of the “wilderness” mentioned in this ver. are unknown, but probably the invaders followed not the direct road from En-gedi to Beth-lehem, but one a little to the left of this.<\/p>\n the brook<\/em> ] R.V. the valley<\/strong> (Heb. naal<\/em>) strictly “ravine” or “water-course.”<\/p>\n Go ye down from Jerusalem, <\/B>where he and his army now were; which stood upon high ground. <\/P> <\/p>\n 16. they come up by the cliff ofZiz<\/B>This seems to have been nothing else than the present passwhich leads northwards, by an ascent from En-gedi to Jerusalem,issuing a little below Tekoa. The wilderness of Jeruel was probablythe large flat district adjoining the desert of Tekoa, calledEl-Husasah, from a wady on its northern side [ROBINSON].<\/P><\/p>\n Tomorrow go ye down against them<\/strong>,…. This was the fast day, and so not proper to march out in, but on the morrow they might go out with great confidence and intrepidity; and as Jerusalem was situated on an eminence, they are directed to go down:<\/p>\n behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz<\/strong>; a steep hill, so called from the flowers upon it:<\/p>\n and ye shall find them at the end of the brook<\/strong>; on the bank of Kidron, according to Beckius, which seems not likely to be meant, since they went as far as the wilderness of Tekoa, 2Ch 20:20<\/span>,<\/p>\n before the wilderness of Jeruel<\/strong>; the same with that of Tekoa, or near it.<\/p>\n (16) Against them.<\/strong>Or, unto them.<\/em><\/p>\n They come up by the cliff of Ziz.<\/strong>They<\/em> are about ascending by the ascent of Hazziz.

The ascent of Hazziz would be a pass or mountain path, leading up from Engedi to this desert table-land. (With the name Hazziz, comp. Hakkoz. Perhaps Hussah preserves a trace of it. The LXX. has Syriac and Arabic, the ascent of dawn, omitting Jeruel.)<\/p>\n 16<\/strong>. <\/strong> They come up by the cliff of Ziz <\/strong> Better, the ascent, <\/em> or pass, of Hazziz. <\/em> This was the rocky mountain pass above Ain Jidy, that leads from the shore of the Dead Sea at that point up into the hill country of Judah. The name still lingers in the tract of table land called el Husassah. <\/em> just northwest of the pass towards Tekoa. So these enemies of Judah came “by the very same route,” says Robinson, “which is taken by the Arabs in their marauding expeditions at the present day, along the shore as far as to Ain Jidy, and then up the pass and so northwards below Tekoa.” <\/p>\n The brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel <\/strong> This brook, <\/em> or valley, was one of the wadies running from the vicinity of Tekoa to the Dead Sea perhaps the Wady Jehar, whose name may be the representative of the ancient Jeruel, <\/em> and the desert of Jeruel must have corresponded nearly with the modern tract el-Husassah.<\/p>\n 2Ch 20:16 To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.<\/p>\n Ver 16. Behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz<\/strong> ] Which is said to be between the wilderness of Tekoah and the wilderness of Jeruel. Ziz signifieth a flower; it signifieth also, saith the Gloss, a caldron or pot; because in this place the enemies were cut in pieces, and made as meat for the pot.<\/p>\n cliff = ascent. <\/p>\n brook = valley. <\/p>\n cliff: Heb. ascent <\/p>\n Ziz: The cliff of Ziz was probably near Ziza, which Ptolemy places in Arabia Petrae, long. 69, 11\/24 degrees lat. 31 degrees. <\/p>\n brook: or, valley <\/p>\n the wilderness: The wilderness of Jeruel seems, from 2Ch 20:20, to have been a part of the wilderness of Tekoa. <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Jos 11:6 – morrow<\/p>\n Tomorrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel. 16. the cliff of Ziz ] R.V. the ascent of Ziz.
