In both editions 20:14 names Abel and Beth Maacah one after the other, and 20:15 names the one city Abel of Beth Maacah.

Accad

Genesis

Acts 18:12 says, “when Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,” and at 18:27, when Apollos has determined to pass over into Achaia, the brothers encourage him and write to the disciples to receive him. Acts 19:21 says that after these things had ended, Paul determined in the Spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem.

Acts, Romans, 1 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians, 1 Thessalonians

Named at Ezra 6:2: “A scroll was found at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, and in it this was written for a record”. 6:1 says, “Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched.” The Korean Revised Version reads 메대도 악메다 궁에서 (in the palace of Achmetha in the province of Media).

Ezra

The city Joshua 3:16 places beside Zarethan. At 3:15–16, when those who bore the ark had come to the Jordan and the feet of the priests who bore the ark had dipped in the edge of the water, the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam.

Joshua

Admah

Genesis, Deuteronomy, Hosea

Joshua 12:15 names the king of Adullam among the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck, and 15:35 names Adullam among the cities of the lowland. At 1 Samuel 22:1–2 David escapes to Adullam’s cave; when his brothers and all his father’s house hear it, they go down there to him, and everyone who is in distress, everyone who is in debt, and everyone who is discontented gather themselves to him; there are with him about four hundred men.

Genesis, Joshua, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Micah

Named at Ezra 8:15: “I gathered them together to the river that runs to Ahava; and there we encamped three days.” 8:21 says, “Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river Ahava”, and 8:31, “Then we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem.” The Korean Revised Version names at 8:15, as WEB does, the river that runs to Ahava (아하와로 흐르는 강), and at 8:21 and 8:31 the river Ahava (아하와강).

Ezra

Genesis 12:8 names it: “He left from there to go to the mountain on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Ai on the east.” Genesis 13:1–3 has Abram go up out of Egypt into the South, and go on his journeys from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai. Joshua 7:2–5 has Joshua send men from Jericho “to Ai, which is beside Beth Aven, on the east side of Bethel” to spy out the land, and then about three thousand men of the people go up there and flee before the men of Ai. In Joshua 8:3–29 Joshua sets an ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city; Joshua and all Israel make as if they are beaten and draw the people of the city away from it, and the ambush takes the city and sets it on fire; all the people of Ai, twelve thousand men and women, fall that day, and Joshua burns Ai, makes it a heap forever and hangs the king of Ai on a tree.

Genesis, Joshua, Ezra, Nehemiah

Judges 12:12: “Elon the Zebulunite died, and was buried in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.”

Judges

Named at 1 Samuel 14:31: “They struck the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon. The people were very faint”. This collection keeps it apart from the Aijalon of Judges 12:12 and from the valley of Aijalon of Joshua 10:12, and does not decide whether they are the same place.

1 Samuel

Numbers 34:11: the east border runs by the east side of Ain.

Acts 18:24 says that a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by race, came to Ephesus.

Joshua

Named at 1 Kings 2:26, where the king says to Abiathar the priest, “Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are worthy of death. But I will not at this time put you to death, because you bore the Lord GOD’s ark before David my father, and because you were afflicted in all in which my father was afflicted.” The Korean Revised Version reads 네 고향 아나돗으로, calling Anathoth Abiathar’s home town (고향). Jeremiah 1:1 says, “The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin.” Jeremiah 32:7–9, in Jeremiah’s first-person telling, gives the LORD’s word to him, “Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, ‘Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it’”, Hanamel’s words when he came to Jeremiah in the court of the guard, “Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin”, and “I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.”

1 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah

Named at Acts 11:19, which says that those who were scattered abroad by the oppression that arose about Stephen traveled as far as Phoenicia, Cyprus, and Antioch, speaking the word to no one except to Jews only. At 11:20–21 some men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they had come to Antioch, spoke to the Hellenists, preaching the Lord Jesus, and a great number believed and turned to the Lord; at 11:22–26 the assembly in Jerusalem sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch, and Barnabas brought Saul from Tarsus to Antioch, where for a whole year they were gathered together with the assembly and taught many people, and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch. At 11:27 prophets come down from Jerusalem to Antioch; at 13:1–3 there are prophets and teachers in the assembly that is at Antioch, and when the Holy Spirit says, “Separate Barnabas and Saul for me,” Barnabas and Saul are sent away with hands laid on them; and at 14:26–27, sailing from Attalia, they come to Antioch, from where they had been committed to the grace of God for the work which they had fulfilled, gather the assembly together, and report all the things that God had done with them, and that he had opened a door of faith to the nations. Acts 15:22 says that the apostles and the elders, with the whole assembly, chose Judas called Barsabbas and Silas and sent them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas, and the letter of 15:23 is to “the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia”; at 15:30–35 those who were sent come to Antioch and deliver the letter, and Paul and Barnabas stay in Antioch, teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with many others also; and at 18:18–22 Paul, having sailed for Syria, lands at Caesarea, goes up and greets the assembly, and goes down to Antioch.

Acts, Galatians

Named at Acts 13:14 as the place they came to, passing on from Perga, and where they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day and sat down. At 13:15–16, after the reading of the law and the prophets, the rulers of the synagogue send to them, saying, “Brothers, if you have any word of exhortation for the people, speak,” and Paul stands up and, gesturing with his hand, speaks; at 13:44–50, on the next Sabbath almost the whole city is gathered together to hear the word of God, the Jews, filled with jealousy, contradict the things which were spoken by Paul, Paul and Barnabas say, “behold, we turn to the Gentiles,” and the Jews stir up the devout and prominent women and the chief men of the city and throw Paul and Barnabas out of their borders. At 14:19 some Jews from Antioch and Iconium stone Paul, and at 14:21 Paul and Barnabas return to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch; those two verses say only Antioch, and this collection takes the Antioch of those verses to be this place.

Acts, 2 Timothy

Named at Acts 23:31: the soldiers, carrying out their orders, took Paul and brought him by night to Antipatris. At 23:32, on the next day, they left the horsemen to go with him and returned to the barracks.

Named at 1 Samuel 4:1 as where the Philistines encamped: “Now Israel went out against the Philistines to battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.” At 4:2, when they joined battle, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men of the army in the field. 1 Samuel 29:1 says, “Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies to Aphek; and the Israelites encamped by the spring which is in Jezreel.” 1 Kings 20:26–30 says that at the return of the year Ben Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel, and that when the children of Israel had killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Syrians in one day, the rest fled to Aphek, into the city, and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left, and Ben Hadad fled and came into the city, into an inner room.

Deuteronomy 2:9 and 2:18 have the LORD say, “I have given Ar to the children of Lot for a possession”, and, “You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today”; the message to Sihon at 2:29 names “the Moabites who dwell in Ar”.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Isaiah

Deuteronomy 1:1 places the words Moses spoke to all Israel “beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah opposite Suf”; 1:7 names the Arabah in the LORD’s word at Horeb, 2:8 the way of the Arabah from Elath and from Ezion Geber, and 3:17 the Arabah in the land given to the Reubenites and the Gadites. Deuteronomy 4:46–49 counts all the Arabah beyond the Jordan eastward in the land Moses and the children of Israel took, as far as the sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah. Deuteronomy 11:30 asks of Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, “Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?”

Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 2 Kings, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Zechariah

Named at Galatians 1:17, where the writer (“I”) says, “nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me, but I went away into Arabia.

Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Galatians

Named at Numbers 21:1 in “the king of Arad”, the Canaanite who lives in the South. Hearing that Israel is coming by the way of Atharim, the king fights against Israel and takes some of them captive. Numbers 33:40 says the Canaanite king of Arad, who lived in the South in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel. Judges 1:16 says that the children of the Kenite, Moses’ brother-in-law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which is in the south of Arad, and lived with the people; the Korean Revised Version says that Moses’ father-in-law was a Kenite.

Numbers, Joshua, Judges

Deuteronomy 3:4 names the cities taken from Og king of Bashan: “sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.” 3:13 has all the region of Argob, even all Bashan, given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, and the note in parentheses at 3:14 says Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites.

Deuteronomy, 1 Kings

Numbers 21:13 gives it as the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites, and Israel encamps on its other side; at 21:24 Israel possesses Sihon’s land from the Arnon to the Jabbok.

Judges 11:26 has Jephthah’s message to the king of the children of Ammon say, “Israel lived in Heshbon and its towns, and in Aroer and its towns, and in all the cities that are along the side of the Arnon for three hundred years!” At 11:33, “He struck them from Aroer until you come to Minnith, even twenty cities”; the verse does not say which Aroer.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Isaiah, Jeremiah

Named at 2 Kings 18:34 in the words of the king of Assyria. At 18:28 Rabshakeh cries with a loud voice in the Jews’ language, “Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria”, and at 18:34 that word asks, “Where are the gods of Hamath and of Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah? Have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?” At 19:9–13 the king of Assyria (WEB “he”) sends messengers again to Hezekiah, and his words ask, “Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of Hena, and Ivvah?” The Korean Revised Version writes 아와 where WEB writes Ivvah.

2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah

Jehu followed after him, and said, ‘Strike him also in the chariot!’ They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo, and died there.” The Korean Revised Version names no one who strikes him (이블르암 가까운 구르 비탈에서 치니).

Genesis

Named at Acts 2:9 in the words of the multitude that came together on the day of Pentecost. At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together and is bewildered, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 6:9 says that some of those who were of the synagogue called “The Libertines”, and of the Cyrenians, of the Alexandrians, and of those of Cilicia and Asia arose, disputing with Stephen. Acts 16:6 says, “When they had gone through the region of Phrygia and Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to speak the word in Asia.” Acts 19:9–10 says that Paul reasoned daily in the school of Tyrannus for two years, so that all those who lived in Asia heard the word of the Lord Jesus, both Jews and Greeks; at 19:22 Paul stays in Asia for a while; at 19:26–27 Demetrius says that almost throughout all Asia this Paul has persuaded and turned away many people, and that the majesty of the great goddess Artemis, “whom all Asia and the world worships”, may be destroyed; at 19:31 certain of the Asiarchs, being Paul’s friends, beg him not to venture into the theater; 20:4 names those who accompanied Paul as far as Asia, among them “Tychicus and Trophimus of Asia”; at 20:16–18 Paul determines to sail past Ephesus, that he might not have to spend time in Asia, and tells the elders at Miletus, “You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you all the time”; and at 21:27 the Jews from Asia, seeing Paul in the temple, stir up all the multitude and lay hands on him. At Acts 24:17–19 Paul says in his defense before the governor, “Now after some years, I came to bring gifts for the needy to my nation, and offerings; amid which certain Jews from Asia found me purified in the temple, not with a mob, nor with turmoil. They ought to have been here before you and to make accusation if they had anything against me.” Acts 27:2 says, “Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.”

The place to which, at Joshua 10:10–11, those who flee from before Israel are chased by the way of the ascent of Beth Horon and struck, “to Azekah and to Makkedah”; as they flee, while they are at the descent of Beth Horon, the LORD hurls down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they die.

From where did they come to you?”, Hezekiah said, “They have come from a far country, even from Babylon”; and 20:16–18 that Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the LORD’s word. ‘Behold, the days come that all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store to this day, will be carried to Babylon. Nothing will be left,’ says the LORD. ‘They will take away some of your sons who will issue from you, whom you will father; and they will be eunuchs in the palace of the king of Babylon.’” 2 Kings 24:1–16 says that in Jehoiakim’s days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, that Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon with his mother, his servants, his princes, and his officers, and the king of Babylon captured him, and that Jehoiachin, the king’s mother, the king’s wives, his officers, and the chief men of the land were carried into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon; 25:5–7 that the Chaldean army pursued the king, and they captured him and carried him up to the king of Babylon to Riblah, and put out Zedekiah’s eyes, bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon; 25:13 that the Chaldeans broke up the pillars of bronze, the bases and the bronze sea that were in the LORD’s house, and carried the bronze pieces to Babylon; and 25:27–30 that Evilmerodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, released Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon, and that Jehoiachin ate bread before him continually all the days of his life. Ezra 5:12–14 gives, in the answer written in the letter to Darius the king, “But after our fathers had provoked the God of heaven to wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house and carried the people away into Babylon”, and, in the same answer, that the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple that was in Jerusalem and brought into the temple of Babylon, Cyrus the king also took out of the temple of Babylon; 5:17 gives, “let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there at Babylon, whether it is so that a decree was made by Cyrus the king to build this house of God at Jerusalem”; 6:1 says, “Then Darius the king made a decree, and the house of the archives, where the treasures were laid up in Babylon, was searched”; and 6:5 gives, in the record written in the scroll, “Also let the gold and silver vessels of God’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of the temple which is at Jerusalem and brought to Babylon, be restored and brought again to the temple which is at Jerusalem”. Daniel 4:28–30 says, “All this came on the King Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he was walking in the royal palace of Babylon. The king spoke and said, ‘Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for the royal dwelling place by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?’”, where the Korean Revised Version gives these verses in the king’s own first person. Acts 7:43 names it, in words given as written in the book of the prophets (7:42): “You took up the tabernacle of Moloch, the star of your god Rephan, the figures which you made to worship, so I will carry you away beyond Babylon.”

Deuteronomy 3:1–13 says, “Then we turned, and went up the way to Bashan”, and tells how Og the king of Bashan was struck, how “sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan” were taken, and all Bashan, and how all Bashan was given to the half-tribe of Manasseh; the note in parentheses at 3:13–14 says, “The same is called the land of Rephaim”, and, “Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, to the border of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and called them, even Bashan, after his own name, Havvoth Jair, to this day.” Deuteronomy 4:41–43 names Golan in Bashan, for the Manassites, among the three cities Moses set apart beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, that the man slayer might flee there.

John 4:46 has a nobleman whose son is sick at Capernaum; at 6:17 Jesus’ disciples, in the boat, are going over the sea to Capernaum, and it is now dark; at 6:24 the multitude gets into boats and comes to Capernaum, seeking Jesus; and at 6:54–59 Jesus says, “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life,” among the things he said in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.

Joshua 15:15–17 says that the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher, and that when Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife,” Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it.

Mark 1:14 has Jesus come into Galilee after John was taken into custody, preaching the Good News of God’s Kingdom, and 1:39 has him go into their synagogues throughout all Galilee, preaching and casting out demons. Mark 6:21 has Herod make a supper on his birthday for his nobles, the high officers and the chief men of Galilee. Mark 9:30 says they passed through Galilee, and Jesus did not want anyone to know it. Mark 14:28 and 16:7 say that Jesus, after he is raised, goes before his disciples into Galilee; at 14:70 those who stand by call Peter a Galilean, and 15:41 says the women followed Jesus and served him when he was in Galilee. Luke 1:26 has the angel Gabriel sent from God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth; at 2:4 Joseph goes up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, to Bethlehem; and at 2:39 the parents of the child Jesus, when they have accomplished all things that were according to the law of the Lord, return into Galilee, to their own city, Nazareth. Luke 3:1 calls Herod tetrarch of Galilee; 4:14 has Jesus return in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, 4:31 has him come down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and 4:44 has him preaching in the synagogues of Galilee; at 5:17 Pharisees and teachers of the law who have come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem are sitting by as Jesus teaches. Luke 8:26 describes the country of the Gadarenes as opposite Galilee. Luke 13:1–2 has some who were present tell Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices, and Jesus ask whether these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans, because they suffered such things. Luke 17:11 says that on his way to Jerusalem Jesus was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. Luke 22:59 has another confidently affirm that Peter truly was with Jesus, for Peter is a Galilean; at 23:5–6 Jesus is accused of stirring up the people, beginning from Galilee even to this place, and Pilate, hearing Galilee mentioned, asks if Jesus is a Galilean; 23:49 and 23:55 tell of the women who had come with Jesus out of Galilee, and at 24:6 the two men at the tomb tell the women to remember what Jesus told them when he was still in Galilee. John 1:43 says that on the next day “he was determined to go out into Galilee, and he found Philip,” where the Korean Revised Version names Jesus; 2:1 and 2:11 name Cana of Galilee, where there was a wedding and where Jesus did the beginning of his signs. John 4:3 has Jesus leave Judea and depart into Galilee; at 4:43–47, after the two days, he goes into Galilee, the Galileans receive him, he comes again to Cana of Galilee, and a nobleman hears that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee; and 4:54 says, “This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.” John 7:1 has Jesus walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him; at 7:6–9 he tells his brothers, “I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled,” and stays in Galilee; at 7:41 some in the multitude say, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?”; and at 7:52 the Pharisees answer Nicodemus, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” John 12:20–21 says that Philip, to whom certain Greeks came saying, “Sir, we want to see Jesus,” was from Bethsaida of Galilee. John 21:2 names Nathanael of Cana in Galilee among those who were together with Simon Peter. At Acts 1:10–11, while those with Jesus are looking steadfastly into the sky as he goes, two men stand by them in white clothing and say, “You men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who was received up from you into the sky, will come back in the same way as you saw him going into the sky”; and at 2:6–7, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans?” Acts 5:37 names Judas of Galilee in what Gamaliel says in the council: “After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the enrollment, and drew away some people after him. He also perished, and all, as many as obeyed him, were scattered abroad.” Acts 9:31 says that the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up, and at 10:37 Peter says, “you yourselves know what happened, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached.”

Joshua 11:22: there were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain. 1 Samuel 5:8 says, “They sent therefore and gathered together all the lords of the Philistines, and said, ‘What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel?’ They answered, ‘Let the ark of the God of Israel be carried over to Gath.’ They carried the ark of the God of Israel there”; 5:9 says that after they had carried it there, the LORD’s hand was against the city with a very great confusion, and he struck the men of the city, both small and great, so that tumors broke out on them; 6:17 gives one of the golden tumors which the Philistines returned for a trespass offering to the LORD “for Gath”; and 7:14 says that the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron even to Gath. 1 Samuel 21:10–12 says that David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath, and that he laid up the words of the servants of Achish in his heart, and was very afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 1 Samuel 27:3 says that David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, every man with his household; 27:4, that Saul was told that David had fled to Gath, so he stopped looking for him; and 27:11, that David saved neither man nor woman alive to bring them to Gath. 2 Samuel 21:20–22 says that there was again war at Gath, where there was a man of great stature, who had six fingers on every hand and six toes on every foot, and he also was born to the giant, and that Jonathan the son of Shimei, David’s brother, killed him; and it says, “These four were born to the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.”

The note in parentheses at Deuteronomy 2:23 says, “Then the Avvim, who lived in villages as far as Gaza: the Caphtorim, who came out of Caphtor, destroyed them and lived in their place.” Joshua 10:41 has Joshua strike from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. Joshua 11:22 says there were none of the Anakim left in the land of the children of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod did some remain. Judges 16:1–3 says that Samson went to Gaza and went in to a prostitute there. The Gazites were told, “Samson is here!” They laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city; but Samson arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city, with the two posts, plucked them up, bar and all, and carried them up to the top of the mountain that is before Hebron. 16:21 says the Philistines laid hold on him and put out his eyes, brought him down to Gaza and bound him with fetters of bronze, and he ground at the mill in the prison.

It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; and if there is iniquity in me, let him kill me.”’”; and 15:8 gives Absalom’s words to the king, “For your servant vowed a vow while I stayed at Geshur in Syria, saying, ‘If the LORD shall indeed bring me again to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.’”

At 19:11–15, when they are by Jebus, the master says to his servant, “We won’t enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah”; they go in to stay in Gibeah, and the man sits down in the street of the city, for there is no one who takes them into his house to stay; 19:16 says that the old man who lived in Gibeah was from the hill country of Ephraim, but the men of the place were Benjamites. At 20:4–5 the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, says, “The men of Gibeah rose against me, and surrounded the house by night.

Acts 15:2–4 says that Paul, Barnabas, and some others were appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders, and that when they had come to Jerusalem, they were received by the assembly and the apostles and the elders; at 16:4, as Paul and those with him went on their way through the cities, “they delivered the decrees to them to keep which had been ordained by the apostles and elders who were at Jerusalem”; and at 18:21 Paul, taking his leave at Ephesus, says, “I must by all means keep this coming feast in Jerusalem, but I will return again to you if God wills,” where the Korean Revised Version has only the words about returning. Acts 19:21 says that Paul determined, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem; at 20:16 he is hastening to be in Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost, and at 20:22 he says, “Now, behold, I go bound by the Spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there”; at 21:4 disciples say to Paul through the Spirit that he should not go up to Jerusalem; at 21:11–13 Agabus says, “The Holy Spirit says: ‘So the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt,’” and Paul answers that he is ready to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus; at 21:15–17 the text says, “After these days we took up our baggage and went up to Jerusalem,” and, “When we had come to Jerusalem, the brothers received us gladly”; and at 21:30–31 the people seize Paul and drag him out of the temple, and as they are trying to kill him, news comes up to the commanding officer of the regiment that all Jerusalem is in an uproar. In the defense made in the Hebrew language, Acts 22:5 tells of a journey to Damascus “to bring them also who were there to Jerusalem in bonds to be punished,” and 22:17–18 of a trance in the temple after a return to Jerusalem, and of the words spoken to the speaker in it: “Hurry and get out of Jerusalem quickly.” At 23:11 the Lord says to Paul, “as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome”; at 24:11 Paul tells the governor that it is not more than twelve days since he went up to worship at Jerusalem; and at 25:1–9 Festus goes up to Jerusalem from Caesarea, the high priest and the principal men of the Jews ask that he summon Paul to Jerusalem, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem bring charges against Paul at Caesarea, and Festus asks Paul, “Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and be judged by me there concerning these things?” At Acts 26:4 Paul tells King Agrippa, “all the Jews know my way of life from my youth up, which was from the beginning among my own nation and at Jerusalem”; at 26:10, “I also did this in Jerusalem. I both shut up many of the saints in prisons, having received authority from the chief priests”; at 26:20 that he “declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent”; and at 28:17 he tells the leaders of the Jews that he “was delivered prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.”

Named at Acts 9:36, where there is a certain disciple named Tabitha. At 9:38–43, as Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples send for Peter, who raises Tabitha up; it becomes known throughout all Joppa, and many believe in the Lord, and Peter stays many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon; at 10:5–8 an angel tells Cornelius, “Now send men to Joppa, and get Simon, who is also called Peter,” and Cornelius sends two of his household servants and a devout soldier to Joppa; at 10:23 some of the brothers from Joppa accompany Peter; and at 10:30–32 Cornelius tells how a man in bright clothing said to him, “Send therefore to Joppa and summon Simon, who is also called Peter.” Acts 11:5 has Peter tell those of the circumcision in Jerusalem, “I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision”; and at 11:13–14 he tells how the man into whose house he had entered had seen the angel standing in his house and saying to him, “Send to Joppa and get Simon, who is called Peter.”

Numbers 33:33 has the people encamp here after they travel from Hor Haggidgad; 33:34 has them travel from it and encamp in Abronah.

Numbers, Deuteronomy

The region named in Matthew 2:1 and 2:22. Mark 1:5 has all the country of Judea go out to John and be baptized by him in the Jordan river, and 3:7–8 has a great multitude come to Jesus from Judea as well. Mark 10:1 says Jesus came into the borders of Judea and beyond the Jordan, and multitudes came together to him again. Mark 13:14 says that when they see the abomination of desolation standing where it ought not, those who are in Judea are to flee to the mountains. Luke 1:5 names the days of Herod, the king of Judea, as the time when Zacharias was a priest; at 1:39–40 Mary goes into the hill country, into a city of Judah (the Korean Revised Version says a town of Judea, 유대 한 동네), and enters into the house of Zacharias; at 1:65, after Zacharias’ mouth is opened, all these sayings are talked about throughout all the hill country of Judea; and at 2:4 Joseph goes up from Galilee into Judea, to David’s city, which is called Bethlehem. Luke 3:1 calls Pontius Pilate governor of Judea, and at 5:17 Pharisees and teachers of the law who have come out of every village of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem are sitting by as Jesus teaches. Luke 6:17 has a great number of the people come from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon to hear Jesus and to be healed of their diseases, and 7:17 says that after the widow’s son was raised, the report concerning Jesus went out in the whole of Judea and in all the surrounding region. Luke 21:20–21 says that when Jerusalem is seen surrounded by armies, those who are in Judea are to flee to the mountains, and at 23:5 Jesus is accused of stirring up the people, teaching throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee even to this place. John 3:22 says that after these things Jesus came with his disciples into the land of Judea, and stayed there with them and baptized. John 4:3 has Jesus leave Judea and depart into Galilee; at 4:47 a nobleman hears that Jesus has come out of Judea into Galilee, and 4:54 says, “This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.” John 7:1 says Jesus would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him, and at 7:2–3, when the Feast of Booths is at hand, his brothers say to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.” John 11:7–8 has Jesus say to the disciples, “Let’s go into Judea again,” and the disciples ask him, “Rabbi, the Jews were just trying to stone you. Are you going there again?” At Acts 1:6–8, when those who have come together ask Jesus, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”, he says to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.” At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude that comes together says, “Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 8:1 says that a great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles, and 9:31 says that the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. Acts 11:1 says that the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God; at 11:29 the disciples, as any of them had plenty, each determine to send relief to the brothers who live in Judea; and at 12:19 Herod goes down from Judea to Caesarea. Acts 15:1 says that some men came down from Judea and taught the brothers, “Unless you are circumcised after the custom of Moses, you can’t be saved.” Acts 21:10 says that a certain prophet named Agabus came down from Judea. At Acts 26:20 Paul tells King Agrippa that he “declared first to them of Damascus, at Jerusalem, and throughout all the country of Judea, and also to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God”; at 28:21 the leaders of the Jews say to Paul, “We neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor did any of the brothers come here and report or speak any evil of you.”

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, 2 Corinthians, Galatians, 1 Thessalonians

The place Numbers 13:26 puts in the wilderness of Paran, where the spies came back after forty days, brought word to Moses, Aaron and all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. This collection keeps it apart from the entry for En Mishpat and does not decide whether they are the same place. Numbers 20:1 has the people stay there after coming into the wilderness of Zin, and Miriam die and be buried there; 20:16 calls it a city at the edge of Edom’s border, and at 20:22 the whole congregation travels from it to Mount Hor. Numbers 27:14 names the waters of the congregation’s strife the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin. Numbers 32:8 names Kadesh Barnea as the place from which Moses sent the fathers to see the land, 33:36–37 has the people encamp in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh, and travel from it to Mount Hor, and 34:4 runs the south border of Canaan south of Kadesh Barnea. Deuteronomy 1:2 says it is eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of Mount Seir to Kadesh Barnea; 1:19 says, “we came to Kadesh Barnea”, 1:46, “So you stayed in Kadesh many days”, and 2:14, “The days in which we came from Kadesh Barnea until we had come over the brook Zered were thirty-eight years.” Deuteronomy 9:23 reads, “When the LORD sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, ‘Go up and possess the land which I have given you,’ you rebelled against the commandment of the LORD your God, and you didn’t believe him or listen to his voice.” Joshua 10:41 has Joshua strike from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Psalms

Judges 10:5: “Jair died, and was buried in Kamon.”

Judges

Named at Judges 8:10: “Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, all who were left of all the army of the children of the east; for there fell one hundred twenty thousand men who drew sword.”

Judges

Joshua 19:35–38 names Kedesh among the fortified cities of the children of Naphtali, and 19:39 says that the cities with their villages were the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Naphtali according to their families. Joshua 20:7 says that Kedesh in Galilee in the hill country of Naphtali was set apart, and 21:27–32 that Kedesh in Galilee with its pasture lands, the city of refuge for the man slayer, was given out of the tribe of Naphtali to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites. Judges 4:6 has Deborah send and call Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh Naphtali, and at 4:9–11 Deborah goes with Barak to Kedesh, Barak calls Zebulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh and ten thousand men follow him, and Heber the Kenite has pitched his tent as far as the oak in Zaanannim, which is by Kedesh.

Joshua, Judges, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles

Numbers 33:22 has the people encamp here after they travel from Rissah; 33:23 has them travel from it and encamp in Mount Shepher.

Numbers

Named at 1 Samuel 23:1: “David was told, ‘Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and are robbing the threshing floors.’” At 23:2–5 the LORD says to David, “Go strike the Philistines, and save Keilah”; David and his men go to Keilah and fight with the Philistines, and David saves the inhabitants of Keilah. At 23:7–13 Saul summons all the people to war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men; David says, “Will the men of Keilah deliver me and my men into the hand of Saul?”, and the LORD says, “They will deliver you up.” Then David and his men, who were about six hundred, arise and depart out of Keilah.

1 Samuel, Nehemiah

Numbers 32:42: Nobah takes Kenath with its villages and calls it Nobah, after his own name.

Numbers, 1 Chronicles

The place Numbers 11:34 calls Kibroth Hattaavah, because the people who lusted were buried there; at 11:35 the people move on from it to Hazeroth. Numbers 33:16–17 lists it as the camp after the wilderness of Sinai and before Hazeroth.

Numbers, Deuteronomy

Named at 2 Kings 16:9, where the king of Assyria “went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed Rezin.” The Korean Revised Version writes the name 길 (길로 옮기고).

2 Kings, Amos

Named at 2 Kings 3:25. 3:24 says that the Israelites rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them, and went forward into the land attacking the Moabites, and 3:25 goes on, “They beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land each man cast his stone, and filled it. They also stopped all the springs of water and cut down all the good trees, until in Kir Hareseth all they left was its stones; however the men armed with slings went around it and attacked it.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그 성읍을 쳐서 헐고 (they beat down the city) and 길하레셋의 돌들은 남기고 (they left the stones of Kir Hareseth).

2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah

The place Balaam comes to with Balak at Numbers 22:39.

Numbers

One of the cities of those who had made a covenant with Israel, as Joshua 9:17 names them: Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath Jearim. At 9:17–18 the children of Israel come to these cities on the third day, but don’t strike them, because the princes of the congregation had sworn to them by the LORD, the God of Israel. 1 Samuel 7:1 says that the men of Kiriath Jearim came and took the LORD’s ark, and brought it into Abinadab’s house on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the LORD’s ark; and 7:2 says, “From the day that the ark stayed in Kiriath Jearim, the time was long—for it was twenty years.”

Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Jeremiah

Numbers 32:37: one of the cities the children of Reuben build.

One of the places between which, Deuteronomy 1:1 says, Moses spoke to all Israel in the Arabah: Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

Deuteronomy

Joshua 10:3 names its king Japhia; 10:5 counts the king of Lachish among the five kings of the Amorites, and 10:23 among those five kings brought out of the cave. At 10:31–32 Joshua passes from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish, encamps against it and fights against it, and the LORD delivers Lachish into the hand of Israel; it is taken on the second day and struck with the edge of the sword, with all the souls who were in it. 10:33 says Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua struck him and his people, until he had left him no one remaining. 2 Kings 14:19 says of Amaziah king of Judah, “They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.” There the Korean Revised Version has them send men after him to Lachish and have him killed there (사람을 라기스로 따라 보내어 저를 거기서 죽이게 하고). 2 Kings 18:14 says that Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, “I have offended you. Withdraw from me. That which you put on me, I will bear.” (the Korean Revised Version: 라기스로 보내어 앗수르 왕에게, sent to Lachish, to the king of Assyria); 18:17, that the king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a great army to Jerusalem; and 19:8, that Rabshakeh found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

Joshua, 2 Kings, 2 Chronicles, Nehemiah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Micah

Named at 2 Kings 19:37 as the land into which Adrammelech and Sharezer escaped. 19:36–37 says, “So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, went home, and lived at Nineveh. As he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch his god, Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat.” This collection keeps it apart from Ararat’s mountains of Genesis 8:4.

2 Kings, Isaiah, Jeremiah

Named at 1 Kings 9:13. At 9:11–13 King Solomon gives Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee; Hiram comes out of Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they don’t please him. He says, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” The text says, “He called them the land of Cabul to this day.”

1 Kings

The land Numbers 13:2 names as the one the LORD gives to the children of Israel, and 13:17 as the land Moses sent men to spy out. Numbers 26:19 records that Er and Onan, the sons of Judah, died in the land of Canaan. Numbers 34:1–12 gives the borders of the land of Canaan that the children of Israel are to inherit, and 34:29 names the men the LORD commanded to divide the inheritance in the land of Canaan. Joshua 5:12 says, “The manna ceased on the next day, after they had eaten of the produce of the land. The children of Israel didn’t have manna any more, but they ate of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.”

Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1 Chronicles, Psalms, Isaiah, Zephaniah, Acts

The land where Genesis 36:16–17 places the chiefs descended from Eliphaz and Reuel, and whose kings, Genesis 36:31 says, reigned before any king reigned over the children of Israel. In Numbers 20:14–21 the king of Edom will not let Israel, whose messengers come from Kadesh, pass through his border, and at 21:4 the people travel from Mount Hor to go around the land of Edom. In Numbers 24:18 Balaam’s parable says that Edom and Seir shall be a possession. Numbers 33:37 places Mount Hor at the edge of the land of Edom, and 34:3 makes the wilderness of Zin, along Edom, the south quarter of Canaan.

Genesis, Numbers, Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Malachi

The land Numbers 32:1 has the children of Reuben and of Gad see, with the land of Jazer, as a place for livestock. At 32:29 Moses commands that it be given them for a possession if they cross the Jordan to fight, and 32:39–40 has the children of Machir take Gilead and Moses give it to Machir. This collection keeps it apart from Mount Gilead of Genesis 31. Deuteronomy 2:36 and 3:10–16 say that from Aroer even to Gilead “there was not a city too high for us”, that “we took … all Gilead”, and that half the hill country of Gilead with its cities was given to the Reubenites and the Gadites, the rest of Gilead to the half-tribe of Manasseh, and Gilead to Machir. Deuteronomy 4:41–43 names Ramoth in Gilead, for the Gadites, among the three cities Moses set apart beyond the Jordan toward the sunrise, that the man slayer might flee there. Deuteronomy 34:1 says that when Moses came to the top of Pisgah, the LORD showed him all the land of Gilead to Dan. Joshua 22:9 says the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh to go to the land of Gilead, the land of their possession, according to the commandment of the LORD by Moses, and 22:13–15 says that Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest and ten princes with him, sent by the children of Israel, came to the children of Reuben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Psalms, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Hosea, Amos, Obadiah, Micah, Zechariah

The land named at Joshua 10:41, where Joshua strikes from Kadesh Barnea even to Gaza, and all the country of Goshen, even to Gibeon. This collection keeps it apart from the Goshen of Genesis 46:28–29. Joshua 11:16 names all the land of Goshen in all that land which Joshua captured.

Joshua

Named at Zechariah 9:1 as the land against which the LORD’s word is: “A revelation. The LORD’s word is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus”. The Korean Revised Version reads 하드락 땅에 임하며 (comes on the land of Hadrach), where WEB reads “is against the land of Hadrach”.

Zechariah

Matthew 2:20–21 names it as where they return from Egypt.

2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezekiel, Matthew

Named at Joshua 11:3: among those to whom Jabin king of Hazor sent was “the Hivite under Hermon in the land of Mizpah”. This collection keeps it apart from the valley of Mizpah of 11:8 and does not decide whether they are the same place.

Joshua

The land whose border, by Numbers 21:13, is the Arnon, between Moab and the Amorites. Numbers 21:26 says Sihon king of the Amorites had fought against the former king of Moab and taken all his land as far as the Arnon. In Numbers 22:3–4 Moab is very afraid of the children of Israel because they are many, and Balak the son of Zippor is king of Moab at that time; at 25:1 the people of Israel begin to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab. Numbers 33:44 places Iye Abarim on the border of Moab. Deuteronomy 1:5 says Moses began to declare this law beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab; 2:8–9 says, “We turned and passed by the way of the wilderness of Moab”, and has the LORD say, “Don’t bother Moab, neither contend with them in battle; for I will not give you any of his land for a possession”, and 2:18, “You are to pass over Ar, the border of Moab, today.” Deuteronomy 29:1 speaks of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant made with them in Horeb. At Deuteronomy 32:49 the LORD tells Moses to go up to Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; 34:5 has Moses die in the land of Moab, and 34:6 says, “He buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor.” Ruth 1:1–2 says that in the days when the judges judged, when there was a famine in the land, Elimelech, a man of Bethlehem Judah, went to live in the country of Moab with his wife and his two sons, and 1:22 that Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her, who returned out of the country of Moab.

Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, Psalms, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Amos, Micah, Zephaniah

The land Abraham is told to go to with Isaac in Genesis 22. Identifying it with Mount Moriah in 2 Chronicles 3:1, and any modern coordinate, needs separate interpretive and geographic review.

Genesis

Land of Nod

Genesis

Named at 1 Samuel 9:4, after Kish tells Saul his son to go look for the lost donkeys (9:3): “He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they weren’t there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they didn’t find them.”

1 Samuel

Named at 1 Samuel 9:4. At 9:3 Kish says to Saul his son, “Now take one of the servants with you, and arise, go look for the donkeys,” and 9:4 says, “He passed through the hill country of Ephraim, and passed through the land of Shalishah, but they didn’t find them.”

1 Samuel

Named at Genesis 10:10, where the text says of Nimrod, “The beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.” At Daniel 1:1–2 Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon comes to Jerusalem and besieges it, and the Lord gives Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God; “and he carried them into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. He brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.” The Korean Revised Version reads 그가 그것을 가지고 시날 땅 자기 신의 묘에 이르러 (he took it and came to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god), with the singular 그것 (it) where WEB reads “them”.

Genesis, Isaiah, Daniel, Zechariah

Named at 1 Samuel 13:17: “The raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies: one company turned to the way that leads to Ophrah, to the land of Shual”. The Korean Revised Version says that company came by the way of Ophrah to the land of Shual (수알 땅에 이르렀고).

1 Samuel

At Judges 11:3 Jephthah flees from his brothers and lives in the land of Tob, and outlaws join up with him; at 11:5, when the children of Ammon make war against Israel, the elders of Gilead go to get Jephthah out of the land of Tob.

1 Samuel

Named at Colossians 2:1, where the writer says, “I desire to have you know how greatly I struggle for you and for those at Laodicea, and for as many as have not seen my face in the flesh”. At 4:12–13 “Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, salutes you”, and the writer says, “I testify about him that he has great zeal for you, and for those in Laodicea, and for those in Hierapolis.” 4:15 says, “Greet the brothers who are in Laodicea, with Nymphas and the assembly that is in his house,” and 4:16, “When this letter has been read among you, cause it to be read also in the assembly of the Laodiceans, and that you also read the letter from Laodicea.”

Colossians, Revelation

Named at Acts 27:8: “With difficulty sailing along it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near the city of Lasea.”

Acts

In the LORD’s word at Horeb, Deuteronomy 1:7, the way goes “in Lebanon as far as the great river, the river Euphrates”, and 3:25 has the plea, “Please let me go over and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that fine mountain, and Lebanon.” Deuteronomy 11:24 reads, “Every place on which the sole of your foot treads shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the western sea shall be your border.” 1 Kings 5:6–14 says that Solomon sent to Hiram, “Now therefore command that cedar trees be cut for me out of Lebanon”, and that King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel and sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses: for a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home.

Named at Numbers 13:21, with Rehob, as the place the spies reached searching the land from the wilderness of Zin; the WEB calls it “the entrance of Hamath”. Numbers 34:8 draws the north border from Mount Hor to the entrance of Hamath.

Numbers, Joshua, Judges, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezekiel, Amos

Named at Judges 21:19, where the elders of the congregation speak of Shiloh, “which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah”.

Judges

Judges 15:9 names it: “Then the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi.” At 15:14 Samson comes to Lehi, the Philistines shout as they meet him, and the LORD’s Spirit comes mightily on him; at 15:15–17 he strikes a thousand men with a fresh jawbone of a donkey, throws the jawbone out of his hand, and that place is called Ramath Lehi. At 15:19 God splits the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water comes out of it; “its name was called En Hakkore, which is in Lehi, to this day.” This collection keeps Lehi and Ramath Lehi apart: the text does not say that Lehi was renamed, and 15:19 still names Lehi.

Judges

Numbers 33:20 has the people encamp here after they travel from Rimmon Perez; 33:21 has them travel from it and encamp in Rissah.

Numbers

The place to which, at Joshua 10:29, Joshua passes from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, and fights against it. 10:30 reads, “The LORD delivered it also, with its king, into the hand of Israel. He struck it with the edge of the sword, and all the souls who were in it. He left no one remaining in it. He did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.” This collection keeps it apart from Libnah, the camp of Numbers 33:20–21. 2 Kings 8:20–22 says that in the days of Jehoram (the Korean Revised Version 여호람 때에; WEB “In his days”) Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves, and it says, “So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.” 2 Kings 19:8 says, “So Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish”, where the Korean Revised Version tells first that he heard the king had departed from Lachish (앗수르 왕이 이미 라기스에서 떠났다 함을 듣고) and then that he went to Libnah and met the king, who was fighting there.

Joshua, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Isaiah

Named at Acts 2:10 in “the parts of Libya around Cyrene,” in the words of the multitude that came together on the day of Pentecost. At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together and is bewildered, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!”

Acts

Named at 2 Samuel 9:4. At 9:3–4 Ziba says to the king, “Jonathan still has a son, who is lame in his feet”, and when the king says, “Where is he?”, Ziba says, “Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.” At 9:5 King David sends and brings him out of the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, from Lo Debar.

2 Samuel

Named at 1 Chronicles 8:12: “The sons of Elpaal: Eber, Misham, and Shemed, who built Ono and Lod, with its towns”. The Korean Revised Version writes the name 롯 here (저는 오노와 롯과 그 향리를 세웠고, he built Ono and 롯 and its towns).

1 Chronicles

Judges

Named at Acts 14:6, which calls Lystra and Derbe cities of Lycaonia. At 14:5–6, when some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone the apostles at Iconium, the apostles became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region; and at 14:11 the multitude, when they saw what Paul had done, lifted up their voice, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”

Acts

Acts

Named at Acts 9:32, where Peter, going throughout all those parts, comes down also to the saints who live at Lydda. At 9:33–35 he finds there Aeneas, who had been bedridden for eight years, and when Peter tells him to get up, Aeneas immediately arises, and all who live at Lydda and in Sharon see him and turn to the Lord; at 9:38, as Lydda is near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter is there, send two men to him.

Acts

Named at Acts 14:6 as one of the cities of Lycaonia. At 14:5–7, when some of both the Gentiles and the Jews, with their rulers, made a violent attempt to mistreat and stone the apostles at Iconium, the apostles became aware of it and fled to Lystra, Derbe, and the surrounding region, and there they preached the Good News. At 14:8–18 there is at Lystra a man who never had walked, and when Paul says with a loud voice, “Stand upright on your feet!”, the man leaps up and walks; the multitude, saying in the language of Lycaonia, “The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!”, call Barnabas “Jupiter”, and Paul “Mercury”, and the priest of Jupiter would have made a sacrifice along with the multitudes, but the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, tear their clothes, spring into the multitude, and hardly stop the multitudes from making a sacrifice to them; at 14:19–20 some Jews from Antioch and Iconium persuade the multitudes, stone Paul and drag him out of the city, but as the disciples stand around him, he rises up, enters into the city, and on the next day goes out with Barnabas to Derbe. At 14:21, when they have preached the Good News to that city and made many disciples, they return to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch. Acts 16:1 says that Paul came to Derbe and Lystra, and a certain disciple was there, named Timothy, and 16:2 that the brothers who were at Lystra and Iconium gave a good testimony about him.

Acts 19:21–22 says that Paul determined, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, and sent Timothy and Erastus into Macedonia; 19:29 names “Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia, Paul’s companions in travel”; and at 20:1–3 Paul departs to go into Macedonia, goes through those parts, and, when a plot is made against him by Jews, determines to return through Macedonia. Acts 27:2 says, “Embarking in a ship of Adramyttium, which was about to sail to places on the coast of Asia, we put to sea, Aristarchus, a Macedonian of Thessalonica being with us.”

Absalom passed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him”; and 17:27–29 says that when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash, Machir the son of Ammiel and Barzillai the Gileadite brought beds, basins, earthen vessels, wheat, barley, meal, parched grain, beans, lentils, roasted grain, honey, butter, sheep, and cheese of the herd, for David and for the people who were with him to eat.

The place where, at Judges 13:24–25, after the child Samson grows and the LORD blesses him, the LORD’s Spirit begins to move him: “in Mahaneh Dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.” Judges 18:11–12 says that the family of the Danites set out from Zorah and Eshtaol with six hundred men armed with weapons of war, went up and encamped in Kiriath Jearim in Judah, and adds, “Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day.

Joshua

Named at Acts 28:1: “When we had escaped, then they learned that the island was called Malta.” At 28:2–6 the natives kindle a fire and receive “us all,” and a viper comes out because of the heat and fastens on Paul’s hand, but Paul shakes off the creature into the fire and isn’t harmed; at 28:7–9, Publius being the chief man of the island, Paul heals his father, who lay sick of fever and dysentery, and the rest also who have diseases in the island come and are cured.

Acts

Named at 1 Chronicles 8:6: “These are the sons of Ehud. These are the heads of fathers’ households of the inhabitants of Geba, who were carried captive to Manahath”. The Korean Revised Version words the verse otherwise (저희는 게바 거민의 족장으로서 사로잡아 마나핫으로 가되).

Judges 6:1–6 says the children of Israel did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, so the LORD delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years; the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel, and Israel was brought very low because of Midian.

At 11:29 Jephthah passed over Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he passed over to the children of Ammon; and at 11:34 he came to Mizpah to his house. Judges 20:1–3 says that all the children of Israel went out, and the congregation was assembled as one man, from Dan even to Beersheba, with the land of Gilead, to the LORD at Mizpah, and that the children of Benjamin heard that the children of Israel had gone up to Mizpah; 21:1 says that the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, “None of us will give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife”; and 21:5 and 21:8 say that the children of Israel had made a great oath concerning him who didn’t come up to the LORD to Mizpah, and that no one came from Jabesh Gilead to the camp to the assembly. 1 Samuel 7:5–6 says that Samuel said, “Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to the LORD for you,” that they gathered together to Mizpah, drew water, poured it out before the LORD and fasted on that day, and that Samuel judged the children of Israel in Mizpah; 7:7–11 says that when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel, and that the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them until they came under Beth Kar; 7:12 says that Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen; and 7:15–16 says that Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life, and that he went from year to year in a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places. 1 Samuel 10:17–19 says that Samuel called the people together to the LORD to Mizpah, told the children of Israel what the LORD, the God of Israel, says, and went on, “But you have today rejected your God, who himself saves you out of all your calamities and your distresses; and you have said to him, ‘No! Set a king over us!’ Now therefore present yourselves before the LORD by your tribes and by your thousands.” 2 Kings 25:23–25 says that when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, and that in the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal offspring came, and ten men with him, “and struck Gedaliah so that he died, with the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.”

The mountain on which Deuteronomy 11:29 has the curse set: “It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.” Deuteronomy 11:30 asks of the two mountains, “Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?” Deuteronomy 27:1–8 has Moses and the elders of Israel command the people that when they have crossed over the Jordan they are to set up great stones on Mount Ebal, coat them with plaster and write on them all the words of this law, and build there an altar to the LORD of uncut stones for burnt offerings and peace offerings; 27:11–13 has Moses command the same day that Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali stand on Mount Ebal for the curse. Joshua 8:30–33 has Joshua build an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal, “as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of uncut stones, on which no one had lifted up any iron”; they offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD and sacrifice peace offerings, and all Israel stands, “half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal”.

Deuteronomy, Joshua

The mountain on which Deuteronomy 11:29 has the blessing set: “It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.” Deuteronomy 11:30 asks of the two mountains, “Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?” Deuteronomy 27:11–12 has Moses command the people the same day that, when they have crossed over the Jordan, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people. Joshua 8:33 says, “All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the LORD’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.” Judges 9:7 says that Jotham went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, cried out, and said, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.”

WEB writes Gilboa at 28:4 and Mount Gilboa at 31:1 and 31:8; the Korean Revised Version writes 길보아, 길보아산 and 길보아 산.

1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Chronicles

The mountain Jacob flees toward in Genesis 31:21, where Laban overtakes him (31:23, 31:25).

Genesis, Judges, Song of Solomon

Joshua 11:17 calls it “Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir”. At 11:16–17 the land Joshua captured runs from it “even to Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon”, and 12:7 names the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel struck “beyond the Jordan westward, from Baal Gad in the valley of Lebanon even to Mount Halak, that goes up to Seir”.

Joshua

The mountain Deuteronomy 3:8–9 names: 3:8 has the land taken from the two kings of the Amorites reach “from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon”, and a note in parentheses at 3:9 says, “The Sidonians call Hermon Sirion, and the Amorites call it Senir.” Deuteronomy 4:46–48 has the land Moses and the children of Israel took reach from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, to “Mount Siyon (also called Hermon)”; Siyon here is a name of Hermon, and this collection keeps it apart from Zion.

Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Chronicles, Psalms, Song of Solomon, Ezekiel

The mountain by the border of the land of Edom that the whole congregation reaches from Kadesh (Numbers 20:22–23). Aaron dies on its top at 20:28, and at 21:4 the people travel on from it.

Numbers, Deuteronomy

The mountain to which Numbers 34:7–8 draws the north border from the great sea, and from which it runs to the entrance of Hamath. This collection keeps it apart from the Mount Hor of Numbers 33:37–41 and does not decide whether they are the same.

Numbers

At 34:1 Moses goes up to it from the plains of Moab, to the top of Pisgah, that is opposite Jericho. This collection keeps it apart from the Nebo of Numbers 32 and 33 and does not decide whether they are the same place.

Deuteronomy

The mountain Moses names in his blessing at Deuteronomy 33:2: the LORD “shone from Mount Paran.” This collection keeps it apart from the wilderness of Paran.

At 24:16 the LORD’s glory settles on Mount Sinai and the cloud covers it six days, and at 31:18, when he has finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, he gives Moses the two tablets of the covenant. Leviticus 7:37–38 says that the law of the burnt offering, the meal offering, the sin offering, the trespass offering, the consecration, and the sacrifice of peace offerings is the law “which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.” Leviticus 25:1 says that the LORD spoke to Moses on Mount Sinai; 26:46 reads, “These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in Mount Sinai by Moses”, and 27:34, “These are the commandments which the LORD commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.”

Hasn’t the LORD gone out before you?” So Barak goes down from Mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him.

The mountain of Judges 9:47–48: when Abimelech is told that all the men of the tower of Shechem are gathered together, “Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an ax in his hand, and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it up, and laid it on his shoulder.”

Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 13:13 says that Paul and his company set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia, and that John departed from them and returned to Jerusalem; and at 14:24–25 they pass through Pisidia, come to Pamphylia, speak the word in Perga, and go down to Attalia.

Joshua 20:7–8 says that beyond the Jordan at Jericho eastward, Ramoth in Gilead was assigned out of the tribe of Gad, and 21:34–38 that Ramoth in Gilead with its pasture lands, the city of refuge for the man slayer, was given out of the tribe of Gad to the families of the children of Merari, the rest of the Levites. 1 Kings 22:3 has the king of Israel say to his servants, “You know that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and we do nothing, and don’t take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?”; at 22:4 he says to Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to battle to Ramoth Gilead?”; and 22:29 says, “So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.”

Deuteronomy, Joshua, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles

Exodus 13:18 names the wilderness road as the way of the Red Sea, and chapter 14 calls the same water simply "the sea". This collection treats them as one place and records no coordinate for it. Numbers 33:10–11 has the people encamp by the Red Sea after Elim and travel from it to the wilderness of Sin. Deuteronomy 1:40 has the LORD say, “But as for you, turn, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea”, and 2:1 says, “Then we turned, and took our journey into the wilderness by the way to the Red Sea.” Deuteronomy 11:4 recalls what the LORD did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots: “how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued you, and how the LORD has destroyed them to this day.”

Named at Judges 4:7, in the LORD’s words that Deborah quotes to Barak: “I will draw to you, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into your hand.” At 4:13 Sisera gathers together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles, to the river Kishon, and at 5:21 the song says, “The river Kishon swept them away, that ancient river, the river Kishon.” 1 Kings 18:40 says that Elijah said, “Seize the prophets of Baal! Don’t let one of them escape!”, that they seized them, and that Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon, and killed them there.

Judges, 1 Kings, Psalms

Judges 15:8 and 15:11 name “the cave in Etam’s rock”. At 15:8 Samson strikes the Philistines hip and thigh with a great slaughter, and goes down and lives in the cave in Etam’s rock; at 15:11–13 three thousand men of Judah go down to the cave in Etam’s rock, bind him with two new ropes, and bring him up from the rock. The Korean Revised Version calls it 에담 바위 틈 (a cleft in the rock of Etam). This collection keeps it apart from Etham of Exodus 13:20, which the WEB spells otherwise.

Judges

The rock to which, at Judges 20:47, six hundred men turn and flee toward the wilderness, and in which they stay four months. At 20:45 the men of Benjamin turn and flee toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and five thousand men of them are gleaned in the highways; at 21:13–14 the whole congregation sends and speaks to the children of Benjamin who are in the rock of Rimmon and proclaims peace to them, and Benjamin returns at that time.

Named at Acts 2:10, where the multitude that came together on the day of Pentecost speaks of “visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes.” At 2:6–11, when the sound is heard, the multitude comes together and is bewildered, and they are all amazed and marvel, saying to one another, “Behold, aren’t all these who speak Galileans? How do we hear, everyone in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and people from Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia, Egypt, the parts of Libya around Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them speaking in our languages the mighty works of God!” Acts 18:2 says that a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by race, had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to depart from Rome. Acts 19:21 says that Paul determined to go to Jerusalem, saying, “After I have been there, I must also see Rome.” At Acts 23:11 the Lord stands by Paul at night and says, “Cheer up, Paul, for as you have testified about me at Jerusalem, so you must testify also at Rome.” Acts 28:14 says that at Puteoli “we found brothers, and were entreated to stay with them for seven days. So we came to Rome”; 28:15–16 says, “From there the brothers, when they heard of us, came to meet us as far as The Market of Appius and The Three Taverns,” and, “When we entered into Rome, the centurion delivered the prisoners to the captain of the guard, but Paul was allowed to stay by himself with the soldier who guarded him.”

The sea Genesis 14:3 says the valley of Siddim now is. Numbers 34:3 begins the south border from its end, eastward, and at 34:12 the east border goes down the Jordan to it. Deuteronomy 3:16–17 has the land given to the Reubenites and the Gadites reach “from Chinnereth even to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah eastward”. Joshua 3:16 says the waters which came down from above stood, and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off.

Genesis, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, 2 Kings

Named at 1 Kings 16:24 as the name of the city Omri built. 16:23–24 say, “In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri began to reign over Israel for twelve years. He reigned six years in Tirzah. He bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.” 1 Kings 20:1–21 says that Ben Hadad the king of Syria went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it, and said, “The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria will be enough for handfuls for all the people who follow me”, that those whom Ben Hadad sent out told him, “Men are coming out from Samaria”, and that the young men of the princes of the provinces and the army which followed them went out of the city and each killed his man; 20:34 that Ben Hadad said, “You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria”; and 20:43 that the king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria. 1 Kings 21:1 places Naboth’s vineyard “next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria”, and 21:18 names, in the LORD’s word, “Ahab king of Israel, who dwells in Samaria”; 22:10 has the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sitting each on his throne “in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria”; 22:37–38 says that the king died, and was brought to Samaria, and they buried the king in Samaria, and that they washed the chariot by the pool of Samaria; and 22:51 that Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria. 2 Kings 6:18–20 says that those who came down to Elisha (the Korean Revised Version names them, 아람 사람, the Syrians) were struck with blindness according to Elisha’s word, that Elisha led them to Samaria (WEB “He led them to Samaria”), and that when the LORD opened their eyes, behold, they were in the middle of Samaria. 6:24–25 says, “After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria. There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver”; the Korean Revised Version tells the siege first and reads 은 팔십 세겔, eighty shekels of silver. At 7:1 Elisha says, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’” 7:18 says that it happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria”. 2 Kings 17:1 says, “In the twelfth year of Ahaz king of Judah, Hoshea the son of Elah began to reign in Samaria over Israel for nine years”; 17:5–6, “Then the king of Assyria came up throughout all the land, went up to Samaria, and besieged it three years. In the ninth year of Hoshea the king of Assyria took Samaria and carried Israel away to Assyria”; 17:24, that the king of Assyria placed the people he brought in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel, “and they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities”; and 17:28, “So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.” The Korean Revised Version names no one at 17:5. Luke 9:52 has the messengers Jesus sent ahead of him enter a village of the Samaritans to prepare for him, and at 9:53 he is not received there, because he is traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem. Luke 17:11 says that on his way to Jerusalem Jesus was passing along the borders of Samaria and Galilee. John 4:3–9 has Jesus, leaving Judea for Galilee, need to pass through Samaria and come to a city of Samaria called Sychar; when a woman of Samaria comes to draw water and Jesus says to her, “Give me a drink,” she says, “How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?”, for Jews have no dealings with Samaritans. At Acts 1:6–8, when those who have come together ask Jesus, “Lord, are you now restoring the kingdom to Israel?”, he says to them, “It isn’t for you to know times or seasons which the Father has set within his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.” Acts 8:1 says that a great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem, and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles; at 8:5–13 Philip goes down to the city of Samaria and proclaims the Christ, there is great joy in that city, and Simon, who had amazed the people of Samaria with his sorceries, also believes and is baptized; at 8:14–25 the apostles who are at Jerusalem hear that Samaria has received the word of God and send Peter and John, who return to Jerusalem and preach the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans; and 9:31 says that the assemblies throughout all Judea, Galilee, and Samaria had peace and were built up. Acts 15:2–3 says that Paul, Barnabas, and some others, appointed to go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders, were sent on their way by the assembly and passed through both Phoenicia and Samaria, declaring the conversion of the Gentiles, and caused great joy to all the brothers.

In Numbers 24:18 Balaam’s parable says that Edom and Seir shall be a possession. Deuteronomy 1:44 says the Amorites “beat you down in Seir, even to Hormah”; 2:1–5 says, “we encircled Mount Seir many days”, and has the LORD say, “I have given Mount Seir to Esau for a possession”; the note in parentheses at 2:12 says, “The Horites also lived in Seir in the past, but the children of Esau succeeded them.” Deuteronomy 33:1–2 says that Moses the man of God, blessing the children of Israel before his death, said, “The LORD came from Sinai, and rose from Seir to them.”

The text names it only in the words “the queen of Sheba” (10:1, 10:4, 10:10, 10:13).

Joshua 20:7 says that Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim was set apart, and 21:20–21 names Shechem with its pasture lands in the hill country of Ephraim, the city of refuge for the man slayer, among the cities the rest of the children of Kohath had by lot out of the tribe of Ephraim. Joshua 24:1 says Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem; 24:25 says he made a covenant with the people that day, and made for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem; and 24:32 says the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, were buried in Shechem, in the parcel of ground which Jacob bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem. Judges 9:6 says that all the men of Shechem assembled themselves together with all the house of Millo, and went and made Abimelech king by the oak of the pillar that was in Shechem; 9:26 says that Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem, and the men of Shechem put their trust in him; 9:41 says that Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, that they should not dwell in Shechem; 9:45 says that Abimelech fought against the city all that day, took the city and killed the people in it, beat down the city and sowed it with salt; and 9:46–49 says that all the men of the tower of Shechem entered into the stronghold of the house of Elberith, and that all the people who followed Abimelech set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand men and women. 1 Kings 12:1 says, “Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king”, and 12:25, “Then Jeroboam built Shechem in the hill country of Ephraim, and lived in it”.

Joshua 18:1 names it as the place where the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled themselves together and set up the Tent of Meeting. At 18:8–10 Joshua commanded those who went to survey the land, “I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh”; the men came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh, and Joshua cast lots for them in Shiloh before the LORD. 19:51 names the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers’ houses of the tribes of the children of Israel distributed for inheritance by lot in Shiloh before the LORD, at the door of the Tent of Meeting. Joshua 22:9 says the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh departed from the children of Israel out of Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, and 22:11–12 says that when the children of Israel heard that the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh had built an altar in the region around the Jordan, the whole congregation of the children of Israel gathered themselves together at Shiloh, to go up against them to war. Judges 21:10–12 says that the twelve thousand of the most valiant men whom the congregation sent to Jabesh Gilead found among its inhabitants four hundred young virgins and brought them to the camp to Shiloh, “which is in the land of Canaan”; and at 21:19–21 the elders of the congregation say, “Behold, there is a feast of the LORD from year to year in Shiloh, which is on the north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and on the south of Lebonah”, and command the children of Benjamin to lie in wait in the vineyards and, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, each man to catch his wife of the daughters of Shiloh and go to the land of Benjamin. 1 Samuel 1:3 says Elkanah went up out of his city from year to year to worship and to sacrifice to the LORD of Armies in Shiloh, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, priests to the LORD, were there; 1:24 that Hannah, when she had weaned the child, brought him to the LORD’s house in Shiloh; and 3:21 that the LORD appeared again in Shiloh, for the LORD revealed himself to Samuel in Shiloh by the LORD’s word. 1 Samuel 4:3–4 says that the elders of Israel said, “Let’s get the ark of the LORD’s covenant out of Shiloh and bring it to us, that it may come among us and save us out of the hand of our enemies,” and that the people sent to Shiloh and brought from there the ark of the covenant of the LORD of Armies, who sits above the cherubim; and 4:12–18 says that a man of Benjamin ran out of the army and came to Shiloh the same day, with his clothes torn and with dirt on his head, that when the man came into the city and told about it, all the city cried out, and that when he who brought the news made mention of God’s ark, Eli fell from off his seat backward by the side of the gate, and his neck broke, and he died.

Joshua 11:1–3 names its king among those to whom Jabin king of Hazor sent when he heard of it.

Joshua

Where Israel stays at Numbers 25:1, when the people begin to play the prostitute with the daughters of Moab. This collection keeps it apart from the entry for the valley of Siddim. Numbers 33:49 says the camp in the plains of Moab stretched from Beth Jeshimoth to Abel Shittim. Joshua 2:1 says that Joshua the son of Nun secretly sent two men out of Shittim as spies. Joshua 3:1 says Joshua got up early in the morning, and he and all the children of Israel moved from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and camped there before they crossed over.

Numbers, Joshua, Micah

Named at 1 Samuel 28:4: “The Philistines gathered themselves together, and came and encamped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped in Gilboa.” 2 Kings 4:8 says, “One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.”

1 Samuel, 2 Kings

Numbers 32:38: one of the cities the children of Reuben build.

Numbers, Joshua, Isaiah, Jeremiah

Matthew 11:21–22 names it with Tyre. It shares a name with the person Sidon of Genesis 10:15. Of the attack by the waters of Merom, Joshua 11:7–8 says, “The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.” Mark 3:8 has a great multitude come to Jesus from around Tyre and Sidon, hearing what great things he did. Mark 7:24 has Jesus go into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and 7:31 has him depart from them and come to the sea of Galilee through the region of Decapolis; the Korean Revised Version names only Tyre at 7:24, and at 7:31 has him pass through Sidon. At Luke 4:25–26 Jesus says that there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, yet Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. Luke 6:17 says that when Jesus stood on a level place, a great number of the people were there from all Judea and Jerusalem and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Acts 12:20 says that Herod was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and that they came with one accord to him and, having made Blastus, the king’s personal aide, their friend, asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. Acts 27:3 says, “The next day, we touched at Sidon. Julius treated Paul kindly and gave him permission to go to his friends and refresh himself.”

Named at 2 Kings 12:20, in “the way that goes down to Silla”: “His servants arose and made a conspiracy, and struck Joash at the house of Millo, on the way that goes down to Silla.” The Korean Revised Version names the way to Silla first (실라로 내려가는 길 가의 밀로궁에서) and reads 저를 죽였고, killed him, where WEB reads “struck Joash”.

2 Kings

The place Luke 13:4 names where a tower fell and killed eighteen people. At 13:4–5 Jesus asks whether those eighteen were worse offenders than all the men who dwell in Jerusalem, and says, “I tell you, no, but, unless you repent, you will all perish in the same way.” At John 9:1–7 Jesus anoints the eyes of a man blind from birth with mud and says to him, “Go, wash in the pool of Siloam” (which means “Sent”), and he goes away, washes, and comes back seeing; at 9:10–11, asked how his eyes were opened, the man answers, “A man called Jesus made mud, anointed my eyes, and said to me, ‘Go to the pool of Siloam and wash.’ So I went away and washed, and I received sight.”

Esther 1:2 says that the King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Susa the palace, and 1:5 that the king made a seven day feast for all the people who were present in Susa the palace, both great and small.

At 3:15 the decree is given out in the citadel of Susa, and “The king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Susa was perplexed.” The Korean Revised Version writes 수산 궁 (1:2), 도성 수산 (1:5, 2:3, 2:5, 2:8, 3:15) and 수산성 (3:15). Esther 8:14–15 says that the decree written according to all that Mordecai commanded “was given out in the citadel of Susa”, and that when Mordecai went out of the presence of the king, “the city of Susa shouted and was glad”; and 9:6–18, that in the citadel of Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men, that at Esther’s request the king commanded it and a decree was given out in Susa, that the Jews who were in Susa killed three hundred men in Susa on the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and that the Jews who were in Susa assembled together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth days of the month, and on the fifteenth day rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.”

Luke 2:1–2 says a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled, and that this was the first enrollment made when Quirinius was governor of Syria. At Luke 4:27 Jesus says that there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed, except Naaman, the Syrian. Acts 15:23 gives the letter of “The apostles, the elders, and the brothers, to the brothers who are of the Gentiles in Antioch, Syria, and Cilicia”; at 15:40–41 Paul chooses Silas and goes through Syria and Cilicia, strengthening the assemblies; and at 18:18 Paul sails for Syria. Acts 20:2–3 says that when Paul had spent three months in Greece, a plot was made against him by Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria; and at 21:3 the text says, “When we had come in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left hand, we sailed to Syria and landed at Tyre.”

Jeremiah

Acts 22:3 reads, in the defense made in the Hebrew language: “I am indeed a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but brought up in this city at the feet of Gamaliel, instructed according to the strict tradition of the law of our fathers, being zealous for God, even as you all are today.”

At 5:2–17 a man with an unclean spirit meets Jesus there out of the tombs, and the people beg Jesus to depart from their region. This collection does not decide whether it is the region Matthew 8:28 names (가다라 지방 in the Korean Revised Version, the country of the Gergesenes in WEB). Luke 8:26–27 calls the place where Jesus arrived and stepped ashore the country of the Gadarenes, which is opposite Galilee; the Korean Revised Version writes 거라사인의 땅. At 8:27–37 a man who had demons meets Jesus there; the demons come out of the man and enter into a herd of pigs, which rushes down the steep bank into the lake and is drowned, and all the people of the surrounding country of the Gadarenes ask Jesus to depart from them, for they are very much afraid.

In Numbers 32 the children of Gad and of Reuben ask not to be brought over the Jordan, then answer that they will cross over armed to fight, and receive their possession on this side of the Jordan, eastward; 34:12 has the east border go down the Jordan to the Salt Sea. Joshua 3:15–17 says that when the feet of the priests who bore the ark dipped in the edge of the water, the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap, and all Israel crossed over on dry ground; at 4:18, when the priests who bore the ark of the LORD’s covenant had come up out of the middle of the Jordan and the soles of the priests’ feet had been lifted up to the dry ground, the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks, as before.

1 Samuel

The valley where, Numbers 13:23–24 says, the spies cut down a branch with one cluster of grapes and carried it on a staff between two; it was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster the children of Israel cut down there. Numbers 32:9 has Moses recall that the fathers he sent from Kadesh Barnea went up to the valley of Eshcol, saw the land and discouraged the children of Israel.

Numbers, Deuteronomy

The valley named at Joshua 17:16. In that verse the children of Joseph say, “All the Canaanites who dwell in the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both those who are in Beth Shean and its towns, and those who are in the valley of Jezreel.” Judges 6:33 says all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the children of the east assembled themselves together; they passed over, and encamped in the valley of Jezreel.

Of the attack by the waters of Merom, 11:7–8 says, “The LORD delivered them into the hand of Israel, and they struck them, and chased them to great Sidon, and to Misrephoth Maim, and to the valley of Mizpah eastward. They struck them until they left them no one remaining.” This collection keeps it apart from the land of Mizpah of 11:3 and does not decide whether they are the same place.

Numbers, Deuteronomy

The place Numbers 20:13 calls the waters of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with the LORD there; 20:24 says Moses and Aaron rebelled against his word there. This collection keeps it apart from the Meribah of Exodus 17. Numbers 27:14 gives what happened at these waters, in the strife of the congregation in the wilderness of Zin, as the reason Moses is to be gathered to his people, and names them the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

Numbers 20:1 has the whole congregation of the children of Israel come into it in the first month, and the people stay in Kadesh. Numbers 27:14 recalls the strife of the congregation in the wilderness of Zin and names the waters the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.

The Korean Revised Version names Jehoram at 8:20 and 8:21 (여호람 때에; 여호람이 모든 병거를 거느리고 사일로 갔더니, Jehoram went to Zair with all the chariots), where WEB reads “In his days” and “Joram crossed over to Zair”.

Behold, I have commanded a widow there to sustain you.” At 17:10 he arises and goes to Zarephath; and when he comes to the gate of the city, behold, a widow is there gathering sticks. Luke 4:25–26 names it, in what Jesus says, as in the land of Sidon: there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, yet Elijah was sent to none of them, except to Zarephath, in the land of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.

At 23:19–24 the Ziphites come up to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself with us in the strongholds in the woods, in the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of the desert?”, and they arise, and go to Ziph before Saul. At 1 Samuel 26:1 the Ziphites come to Saul to Gibeah, saying, “Doesn’t David hide himself in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert?”, and 26:2 says that Saul went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.
