Chr. has Tibhath<\/em>, and the reading of the Sept. makes it probable that the original form here was Tebah<\/em>, which occurs as the name of one of the sons of Nahor the Syrian (Gen 22:24<\/span>).<\/p>\n Berothai<\/em> ] Probably the same as Berothah<\/em>, mentioned by Ezekiel (ch.

Its site has not been determined.<\/p>\n brass<\/em> ] Rather, copper<\/strong>, or bronze.<\/strong> The word certainly denotes a simple metal in some passages, e.g. Deu 8:9<\/span>; in others perhaps a compound one, but if so, bronze<\/em> (copper and tin), not brass (copper and zinc), which was unknown to the Hebrews.<\/p>\n The Sept. has an addition here similar to that in Chr.: “Therewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the lavers, and all the vessels.”<\/p>\n Betah and Berothai – <\/B>These names (see also margin) have not been identified with certainty.<\/P> Exceeding much brass – <\/B>Wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass 1Ch 18:8<\/span>. The Septuagint and Vulgate both add these words here, so that perhaps they have fallen out of the Hebrew text. For the existence of metals in Lebanon or Antilebanon, see Deu 8:9<\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n In 1Ch 18:8<\/span>, it is from Tibnath and from Chun<\/I>. Either therefore the same cities were called by several names, as is usual, the one by the Hebrews, the other by the Syrians; or those were two other cities, and so the brass was taken out of these four cities. <\/P> <\/p>\n And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer<\/strong>,…. Which, in 1Ch 18:8<\/span>, are called Tibhath and Chun, they having different names; or their names might be changed upon this conquest of them, and the one might be the names they went by with the Syrians, and the other the Israelites called them by; the latter is the same with Berothah in<\/p>\n Eze 47:16<\/span>; and the Barathena of Ptolemy s, placed by him near Mesopotamia; in the Arabic version of 1Ch 18:8<\/span>, they are called Emesa and Baalbec, the former was a city of Coele-Syria, the latter was at the foot of Mount Lebanon; [See comments on Am 1:5]<\/span>;<\/p>\n King David took exceeding much brass<\/strong>; whereby he was furnished and able to give the large quantity he did for the service of the temple, 1Ch 29:7<\/span>.

The lxx have also interpolated this notice into the text. The name Betach<\/em> is given as Tibhath<\/em> in the Chronicles; and for Berothai<\/em> we have Chun<\/em>. As the towns themselves are unknown, it cannot be decided with certainty which of the forms and names are the correct and original ones. appears to have been written by mistake for . This supposition is favoured by the rendering of the lxx, ; and by that of the Syriac also (viz., Tebach<\/em>). On the other hand, the occurrence of the name Tebah<\/em> among the sons of Nahor the Aramaean<\/em> in Gen 22:24<\/span> proves little or nothing, as it is not known that he founded a family which perpetuated his name; nor can anything be inferred from the fact that, according to the more modern maps, there is a town of Tayibeh<\/em> to the north of Damascus in 35 north lat., as there is very little in common between the names Tayibeh<\/em> and Tebah<\/em>. Ewald connects Berothai<\/em> with the Barathena<\/em> of Ptol. v. 19 in the neighbourhood of Saba. The connection is a possible one, but it is not sufficiently certain to warrant us in founding any conclusions upon it with regard to the name Chun<\/em> which occurs in the Chronicles; so that there is no ground whatever for the opinion that it is a corruption of Berothai<\/em>.<\/p>\n (8) Betah and from Berothai.<\/strong>There is no satisfactory clue to the situation of these places. For Betah 1Ch. 18:8<\/span> has Tibhath <\/em>in the Hebrew, a mere transposition of the letters; and for Berothai, Chun. <\/em>Berothah is mentioned in Eze. 47:16<\/span>, as on the boundary of Palestine between Hamath and Sibraim. It is said in 1Ch. 18:8<\/span>, that Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass, of the exceeding much brass here captured. The LXX., and from it the Vulgate, has inserted the same notice here. It is very doubtful whether the metal intended was brass (copper and zinc) or simply copper, or, more probably, bronze (copper and tin). Some centuries earlier great quantities of copper were carried from Syria to Egypt.<\/p>\n 8<\/strong>. <\/strong> Betah and Berothai <\/strong> Places now unknown. The name Berothai <\/em> seems naturally to point to the ancient Berytus, the modern Beyroot, on the seacoast of northern Phenicia, but this was far away from the line of David’s conquests. Instead of these names we have in Chronicles Tibhath <\/em> and Chun. <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Much brass <\/strong> “Wherewith Solomon made the brazen sea, and the pillars, and the vessels of brass.” 1Ch 18:8<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2Sa 8:8 And from Betah, and from Berothai, cities of Hadadezer, king David took exceeding much brass.<\/p>\n Ver. 8.
