Aman
Aman
(), the Graecized’ form (Tob 14:10; Esther 10:7, etc.) of the name HAMAN SEE HAMAN (q.v.).
Ama’na [many Am’ana] (Hebrew Amanahah’, , a covenant, as in Neh 10:1), the name of a river and of a hill.
1. The marginal reading (of many codices, with the Syriac, the Targum, and the Complutensian ed. of the Sept.) in 2Ki 5:12, of the stream near Damascus called in the text ABANA SEE ABANA (q.v.).
2. (Sept. , Vulg. Amana.) A mountain mentioned in Son 4:8, in connection with Shenir and Hermon, as the resort of wild beasts. Some have supposed it to be Mount Amanus in Cilicia, to which the dominion of Solomon is alleged to have extended northward. But the context, with other circumstances, leaves little doubt that this Mount Amana was rather the southern part or summit of Anti-Libanus, and was so called perhaps from containing the sources of the river Amana or ABANA SEE ABANA (q.v.). The rabbins, indeed, call Mount Lebanon various names (Reland, Paloest. p. 320), among which appears that of Amanon (, Gittin, fol. 8, 1, v. r. , Umanus, or Matthew Hor, according to Buxtorf, Lex. Talm. col. 117).
