5<\/strong>. the land of the Giblites<\/em> ] i.e. the land of the inhabitants of Gebal, a name which occurs in Psa 83:7<\/span>,<\/p>\n “ Gebal<\/em>, and Ammon, and Amalek;<\/p>\n The Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;”<\/p>\n and Eze 27:8-9<\/span>, “The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy mariners: thy wise men, O Tyrus, that were in thee, were thy pilots. The ancients of Gebal<\/em> and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers.” It was a maritime town of Phnicia. Its inhabitants are written “Giblians” in the Vulgate, and “Byblians” in the LXX. (while in 1Ki 5:18<\/span> the word is rendered “stone-squarers”), whence we may infer the identity of the city with the Byblus of classical literature. Byblus was a seat of the worship of Adonis or Syrian Tammuz. The modern name is Jebail<\/em>, about 22 miles north of Beyrout. The coins of Byblus have frequently the type of Astarte, also of Isis, who came here in search of the body of Osiris. “At Jebail<\/em> and in other ancient Phnician cities there are traces of the same large bevelled stones clamped with iron, which appear in the foundations of Solomon’s temple. These are probably the work of the Giblites.” See Ritter’s Geog. Pal<\/em>.

In the time of the Crusades it was called Epiphaneia, a town situated on the western bank of the Orontes, lower down the stream than Emesa. It is called “Hamath the Great” (Amo 6:2<\/span>), and commanded the whole of the Orontes valley, from the low screen of hills which forms the watershed between the Orontes and the Litny<\/em> “the entrance of Hamath” to the defile of Daphne below Antioch.<\/p>\n Giblites – <\/B>The people of Gebal (Jebail, 22 miles north of Beyronut).

A multitude of gray granite columns are built into the modern walls and houses, choke up the harbour, and lie scattered over the surrounding fields, and they attest the antiquity of the town. The Giblites <\/strong> were employed in building Solomon’s temple, (1Ki 5:18<\/span>, note,) and. according to Eze 27:9<\/span>, were skilled in shipbuilding. <\/p>\n Baal-gad <\/strong> See on Jos 11:17<\/span>. Hamath <\/strong> was probably founded by the youngest son of Canaan, (Gen 10:18<\/span>,) and so was one of the oldest cities in the world. In Amo 6:2<\/span>, it is called “ the great.” Its king Toi made peace with David, (2Sa 8:9<\/span>,) but Solomon seems to have subjugated the kingdom and made it a part of his own empire. 2Ch 8:3<\/span>. It early fall into the hands of the great Assyrian conquerors. 2Ki 18:34<\/span>. It still exists, in the beautiful valley of the Orontes, about sixty miles southeast of Antioch, and has a population of 30,000. It lies on both sides of the river, and is noted for the immense wheels, eighty feet in diameter, which are turned by the rapid current and used for irrigation. The entering into Hamath <\/strong> is a geographical term used to designate the northern border of Israel. Num 34:8<\/span>; 1Ki 8:65<\/span>; 2Ki 14:25<\/span>. It was evidently some great pass connected with the Lebanon mountains, but which one has been a matter of dispute. Robinson and Porter identify it with the depression between the northern end of Lebanon and the Nusairiyeh mountains, which opens westward, towards the coast of the Mediterranean. But as the Israelites never occupied territory so far north as that, most sacred geographers identify this entering <\/strong> with the southern opening into the great valley of Coele-Syria. This is by far the most notable entrance into <\/em> the ancient kingdom and land of Hamath.] <\/p>\n Ver. <\/em><\/strong>5. <\/strong>And the land of the Giblites<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> This people dwelt out of the land of Canaan; their capital, named Gebal, was seated to the east of Tyre and Sidon. Eze 27:9<\/span>. Psa 83:7<\/span>. The Giblites <\/em>are named among the workmen sent by king Hiram to Solomon. See 1Ki 5:18<\/span> and the margins of our Bibles. Some traces of the name Giblites are still to be met with in the city of Gibyle <\/em>in Syria, which Maundrell describes, and thinks to have been the ancient Gebal. <\/em>See his Journey from Aleppo, p. 33. The Israelites extended their conquers as far as Lebanon, toward the sun rising, <\/em>penetrating no further. Respecting which, Baal-Gad, <\/em>and Hamath, <\/em>see ch.

It is now called Gibyle, of Djebail, situated about a day’s journey south of Tripoli. Its walls are about a mile in circumference, with square towers about every forty yards’ distance. Anciently it must have been a place of no mean extent and of considerable beauty, from the ruins still visible. 1Ki 5:18, *marg.
