26<\/strong>. and from Heshbon<\/em> ] Thus the extension northward of the tribe is expressed, unto Ramath-mizpeh<\/em>, which is identical with the early sanctuary at which Jacob and Laban set up their cairn of stones, and which received the names of Mizpeh, Galeed, and Jegar-Sahadutha, and which probably was the same as the famous Ramoth-gilead, where ( a<\/em>) Ahab was slain (1Ki 22:1-37<\/span>), ( b<\/em>) his son Joram was wounded by Hazael (2Ki 8:28<\/span>), ( c<\/em>) Jehu was anointed king (2Ki 9:1-6<\/span>). It is the modern es-Salt<\/em> on the road from Jericho to Damascus.<\/p>\n and Betonim<\/em> ] a town somewhere on the northern boundary of Gad. Its site was unknown to Jerome.<\/p>\n and from Mahanaim<\/em> ] in the east, unto Debir<\/em>, on the heights which border the Jordan on the west. Mahanaim (= the two hosts<\/em>) is famous in the history ( a<\/em>) of Jacob’s return from Padanaram (Gen 32:2<\/span>), ( b<\/em>) of Ishbosheth’s reign (2Sa 2:8<\/span>), ( c<\/em>) of David’s flight from Absalom (2Sa 17:24<\/span>; 2Sa 17:27<\/span>). The site of Debir is undetermined.<\/p>\n Verse 26<\/span>. Ramath-mizpeh<\/B><\/I>] The same as Ramoth-gilead<\/I>. It was one of the cities of refuge, Jos 20:8<\/span>; De 4:47<\/span>.<\/P> <\/P> Mahanaim<\/B><\/I>] Or the two camps<\/I>. Situated on the northern side of the brook Jabbok, celebrated for the vision of the two camps of angels which Jacob had there; see Ge 32:2<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n From Heshbon, <\/B>either exclusively or inclusively. See Poole on “Jos 13:17<\/span>“. <\/P> Ramath-mizpeh, <\/B>called Ramoth-gilead<\/I>, or Ramoth<\/I> in Gilead<\/I>, Jos 20:8<\/span>, and elsewhere <\/P> Mahanaim, <\/B>exclusively; for Mahanaim was in the portion of Manasseh, beyond Jabbok, which was the border of Gad and Manasseh. <\/P> <\/p>\n And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim<\/strong>,…. This was their coast from the south to the north, and so describes their eastern border, which reached from Heshbon, given to the tribe of Reuben,<\/p>\n Jos 13:7<\/span>; to these places mentioned; Ramathmizpeh, the same with Ramothgilead, which Jerom o says was a village in his time, and lay two miles from Philadelphia or Rabbath before mentioned, to the east; it should be to the west; of Betonim we nowhere else read, it seems to have been near to Ramath:<\/p>\n and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir<\/strong>; the former of these was the place where the angels met Jacob, and who gave it the name from thence; and in later times a city of this name was built there, and was near the river Jabbok, Ge 32:2<\/span>; Debir is different from that in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:15<\/span>; in the Septuagint version here it is called Daibon, perhaps the same with Dibon, the tribe of Gad rebuilt, and is called Dibongad, Nu 32:34<\/span>; unless Lidbar here should be the same with Lodebar in Gilead, 2Sa 17:27<\/span>.<\/p>\n o De loc. Heb. fol. 99. A.<\/p>\n 26<\/strong>. <\/strong> From Heshbon <\/strong> Which belonged to the Reubenites, (Jos 13:17<\/span>,) but stood so near the boundary between Reuben and Gad as to be occupied in common by both tribes. Compare Jos 13:17<\/span> and Jos 21:39<\/span>, notes. <\/p>\n Ramath-mizpeh <\/strong> Probably identical with Ramoth-gilead <\/em> and Mizpeh of Gilead, <\/em> which was allotted to the Levites and appointed one of the cities of refuge. Jos 20:8<\/span>; Jos 21:38<\/span>. Most modern scholars are inclined to locate it at the village of es-Salt, <\/em> thirty miles north of Heshbon. “This is indicated,” says Porter, “(1) by its position on the summit of a steep hill; (2) by its old ecclesiastical name, Saltus Hieralicus, <\/em> which appears to point to its original sacerdotal and holy character; (3) by the fact that about two miles to the northwest of es-Salt is the highest peak of the mountain range, still bearing the name Jebel Jilead; <\/em> (4) by the statement of Eusebius that Ramoth-Gilead lay in the fifteenth mile from Philadelphia towards the west, and this is the exact distance of es-Salt from Rabbath-Ammon.” From its lofty position and sacred character it became a great sanctuary of the eastern tribes. See Jdg 10:17<\/span>, note. <\/p>\n Betonim <\/strong> Probably identical with a ruined village Batneh, marked on the maps of Menke and Van de Velde about five miles west of es-Salt. <\/p>\n Mahanaim <\/strong> The place where Jacob met with the angels of God, and therefore called by a name which signifies a double host <\/em> or camp. Gen 32:2<\/span><\/em>, note. It stood on the border between Gad and Manasseh, (Jos 13:30<\/span>,) and was assigned to the Levites. Chap. Jos 21:38<\/span>. Here after Saul’s death Abner made Ishbosheth king, (2Sa 2:8<\/span>,) and to this place David fled during the rebellion of Absalom. Its site is yet a matter of uncertainty. Some think it is the modern Mahneh, near Jebel Ajlun; while Porter suggests that it may have stood upon the site now occupied by the ruins of Gerasa. The border of Debir <\/strong> is utterly unknown. The Hebrew for of Debir <\/em> is , and the first letter , lamedh, <\/em> may be a part of the name, Lidbir. <\/em> Reland thinks it may be the same as Lodebar, <\/em> which, according to 2Sa 9:4<\/span>, must have been in this same vicinity.<\/p>\n Jos 13:26 And from Heshbon unto Ramathmizpeh, and Betonim; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir;<\/p>\n Ver. 26.
