But the same Hebrew came to be used by those who were dwelling east of the Euphrates (cp. Ezr 4:6<\/span>; Ezr 6:6<\/span>; Ezr 7:21<\/span>; Ezr 7:25<\/span>; Ezr 8:36<\/span>; Neh 2:7<\/span>) when they spake of Palestine. So Cisalpina<\/em> was used of Gaul south of the Alps, not only by those living there, but by those who lived on the other side of the Alpine range.<\/p>\n Tiphsah<\/em> ] i.e. Thapsacus on the west side of the river Euphrates.

The word means ford, or passage, being formed from <\/span> pasach<\/I>, to pass over (compare paschal). It is the modern Suriyeh, forty-five miles below Balls, at the point where the Euphrates changes its course from south to southeast by east. The stream is fordable here, and nowhere else in this part of its course. Solomons possession of Thapsacus would have been very favorable to his schemes of land commerce 1Ki 9:19<\/span>.<\/P> To Azzah – <\/B>i. e., Gaza.<\/P> All the kings – <\/B>Compare Josh. 12:9-24<\/span>. In Philistia, small as it was, there were five kings 1Sa 6:18<\/span>. Syria was divided into numerous small states, as many as thirty-two kings being mentioned on one occasion 1Ki 20:1<\/span>.

And this best agrees with the following <\/P> Azzah, <\/B>which was the border of Canaan in the south and west, Gen 10:19<\/span>; Deu 2:23<\/span>, as Tiphsah was in the north and east.

Tiphsah is thought to be the Thapsacus of Pliny d which both he and Ptolemy e place near the river Euphrates, since called Amphipolis; the former places it in Syria, the latter in Arabia Deserta; and which Strabo f, from Eratosthenes, describes as 4800 furlongs or six hundred miles from Babylon, and from the place where Mesopotamia begins not less than two thousand furlongs or two hundred and fifty miles:<\/p>\n over all the kings on this side the river<\/strong>; the river Euphrates, or beyond it, in the sense before explained, as the kings of Syria, Arabia, c.<\/p>\n and he had peace on all sides round about him<\/strong> in which he was a type of Christ, the Prince of peace.<\/p>\n d Nat.

Compare the phrase beyond Jordan, Jos 1:14<\/span><\/em>, note. So, says Rawlinson, “a Gaul, writing at Narbo or Lugdunum under the early Roman empire, must have spoken of his own country as Gallia transalpina.” <\/em> Compare Ezr 4:10<\/span>, note. <\/p>\n Tiphsah <\/strong> Formerly a large and important city on the western bank of the Euphrates, more than three hundred miles above Babylon; the Thapsacus of the Greeks and Romans, and the modern Suriyeh. <\/em> Here was the great crossing place for the armies or caravans, and perhaps Solomon’s occupation of the place was for the purpose of establishing commercial intercourse with Central Asia. “A paved causeway is visible on either side of the river at Suriyeh, and a long line of mounds may be traced, disposed, something like those of Nineveh, in the form of an irregular parallelogram. These mounds probably mark the site of the ancient city.” G. Rawlinson. <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Azzah <\/strong> The same as Gaza, and a more correct form of anglicising the Hebrew name. On Gaza, the chief capital of the Philistines, see at Gen 10:19<\/span>, and Jdg 16:1<\/span>. <\/p>\n Over all the kings <\/strong> Many petty kings dwelt in this territory. Compare note on Jdg 1:7<\/span>.<\/p>\n 1Ki 4:24 For he had dominion over all [the region] on this side the river, from Tiphsah even to Azzah, over all the kings on this side the river: and he had peace on all sides round about him.<\/p>\n Ver. 24.

From Tiphsah even to Azzah Either that Tiphsah (2Ki 15:16) which was in the kingdom of Israel within Jordan; or, rather, another place of that name upon the Euphrates, even that eminent city which is mentioned by Ptolemy, and Strabo, and Pliny, called Thapsarum. And this best agrees with the following Azzah, which was the border of Canaan in the south and west, as Tiphsah was in the north and east. And so his dominion is described by both its borders.
