A 
 GENERAL VIEW 
 
 OF 
 
 PALESTINE; or, THE HOLY LAND. 
 
 This Country, unquestionably, the most remarkable 
 country upon the face of the whole earth, is the South- 
 ern district of Syria ; having on the North, Mount Liba* 
 nus — on the South, Mount Seir, and the Desert of 
 Pharan, in Arabia — on the East, Mounts Hermon and 
 Giiead, with Arabia Deserta— and on the West, the 
 Mediterranean Sea, History begins, at a very remote 
 era, to unfold to us a view of this country, the inhabi- 
 tants of which, at the earliest traces of it, were Ethnic or 
 Idolatrous Tribes, descended from Ham the son of Noah. 
 Canaan, in whose name the curse had been, on a former 
 occasion, denounced against the offspring of Ham, was 
 one of the principle of those tribes then in this region, 
 and from whom the country, at our first view of it, was 
 called Canaan, or the Land of Canaan. — The Holy 
 Patriarch, Abraham, at the command of God, and by 
 divine guidance, emigrated from his native country 
 in Chaldea, and came to reside in Canaan : and the 
 Almighty having made Abraham a promise that his seed 
 should inherit the Land, caused the posterity of that 
 patriarch to call it the promised land. — During the 
 subsequent settlement of the Hebrews in Canaan, the 
 Philistians or Phalestians, one of the original Ethnic 
 Tribes, kept possession of a small portion of it, on the 
 
4 GENERAL VIEW OF PALESTINE J 
 
 coast of the Mediterranean Sea Southward ; and 
 Herodotus, the most ancient civil historian, in describing 
 this country, chose to call it Syria- Palestina ; that is, 
 Syria towards Palestine, or Syria surrounding Palestine : 
 and afterwards Ptolemy, and other ancient geographers 
 and profane historians, have called it simply Palestine. 
 In alluding to the origin of the name Palestine, it maybe 
 necessary to observe that the LXX translate the Hebrew 
 word Philistiim, Allophyli, (strangers or aliens,) intima- 
 ting that they were a people distinct from the Israelites. 
 — When the twelve tribes of Israel came into possession 
 of this their promised inheritance, the lots or territories 
 of Judah and Benjamin were contiguously seated 
 towards the Southern boundary of the country: and 
 according to divine appointment, the kingdom of Judah 
 was hereditary in the house of David. After the death 
 of Solomon, the tribes of Judah and Benjamin were all 
 that adhered to the pure ordinances which had been 
 instituted under David ; the other ten tribes having re- 
 volted and separated from the kingdom of Judah, estab- 
 lished a government and religion amongst themselves. 
 They occupied the provinces of Samaria and Galilee, 
 with the tract Eastward of Jordan, calling it altogether 
 the kingdom of Israel. Whilst the kingdom of Israel 
 was constantly distracted and wasted by discord and 
 rebellion, the kingdom of Judah existed 510 years with- 
 out any civil commotions or internal wars, and conse- 
 quently became very great and powerful, extending 
 itself over much of the Israelitish kingdom, particularly 
 after the Assyrian Captivity : and as the kingdom of 
 Judah survived the kingdom of Israel about 120 years, 
 the whole territory obtained the name of Judah, or 
 Judea. — In consequence of this country having been a 
 Patriarchal abode, and having afterwards become the 
 inheritance of the chosen people of God ; in consequence 
 also of the apostles and disciples of Christ having prin- 
 
OR, THE HOLY LAND. 5 
 
 cipally sprung from this habitation ; and in consequence 
 of the great work of human redemption having been 
 effected within its limits ; this country has also been 
 devoutly called THE HOLY LAND.— Thus, it is 
 presumed, that the several appellations of Canaan — 
 The Promised Land — Palestine — Judea — and the Holy 
 Land, which have been successively conferred on this 
 country, have been sufficiently explained from their sev- 
 eral origins : it remains, therefore, to be briefly noticed 
 that, after the Babylonish captivity, Palestine continued 
 subject to the dominion of Persia, until subdued to Mace- 
 donia by Alexander the Great. It was also at times 
 subject to the kings of Syria, and the kings of Egypt. 
 At length when Caesar carried his conquests over this 
 part of the East, it became a portion of the Roman 
 Empire, and was divided into Tretrarchies, namely, 
 Judea, Samaria, and Upper and Lower Galilee. Thus 
 it continued until the reigns of Vespasian and Titus, 
 during which the total extirpation of the Jews from their 
 possessions in Palestine took place. It was conquered 
 from the Romans by the Caliph Ormor, A. D. 636, till 
 about the year A.D. 1075, it became the prey of the Sel- 
 juhian Turks, was rescued from them by the Crusades, 
 1099, and retaken by Saladin, the Saracenic Sultan of 
 Egypt, A. D. 1186. These rulers kept possession of 
 the country until A*D. 1516, when it again reverted to 
 the dominion of the Ottoman Turks, who have held 
 possession ever since : and it is but too well known into 
 what a state of ruin it has fallen under its Mahometan 
 masters. Indeed, the mind could scarcely rest satis- 
 fied to finish this sketch without marking the contrast 
 of Magnificence and Desolation — of Holiness and De- 
 pravity — of which this portion of the earth presents an 
 example so forcible and gloomy. 
 

 A 
 
 DESCRIPTION 
 
 OF 
 
 THE CITIES, TOWNS, &c. 
 
 * * The Numbers to each City, &c. refer to the Numbers on the Model 
 
 1. BETHLEHEM. 
 
 Bethlehem of Judah, or Ephrath, a Cit3 r in Judah, fre- 
 quently called Bethlehem of Judah, to distinguish it from 
 another of the same name in the Tribe of Zebulun. It is 
 likewise called Ephratah, and its inhabitants Ephratians. 
 This city was not considerable for its extent or riches, but is 
 memorable as the birth-place of our Saviour. The Cave, 
 formerly used as a stable, wherein it is said our Saviour was 
 born, is still exhibited to strangers. The ancients mention 
 the birth-place of Jesus Christ as having been a cave : Adrian, 
 in order to erase from the memory the place where Jesus was 
 born, planted over the cave a grove of tall trees, in honour of 
 Adonis. The Inn to which Joseph and Mary retired at Beth- 
 lehem, was probably a Caravansary, where the guests were 
 received, but where nothing was found them but shelter; 
 and as the crowd was great, Joseph and Mary were obliged 
 to repose in a cave. Caravansaries were originally intended 
 for, and are now generally applied to the accommodation of 
 strangers and travellers, though like many other good insti- 
 tutions, sometimes perverted to the purposes of private emo- 
 lument. They are built, says Campbell, at proper distances 
 through the roads of the Turkish dominions, and afford to 
 the indigent or weary traveller, an asylum from the incle- 
 mency of the weather; are, in general, built of the most 
 solid and durable materials ; have one story above the ground 
 floor, the lower of which is arched, and serves for warehouses, 
 lodgings, and stables, while the upper is used merely for 
 lodgings ; besides which, they are accommodated with a foun- 
 tain, and have cook-shops and other conveniences, to supply 
 the wants of lodgers. This account of Caravansaries, applies 
 to those on the main roads only; on those less frequented, 
 the accommodation is wretched. Travellers in the east carry 
 with them their own bedding, kitchen utensils, and provisions.

 2. MOUNT OF OLIVES, 
 
 Or Mount Olivet, near Jerusalem. On this mount 
 Solomon built Temples to the gods of the Ammonites and 
 Moabites. The Mount of Olives has three summits ; from 
 the middle summit our Saviour ascended into heaven. In the 
 time of King Uzziah, the Mount of Olives was shattered by 
 an earthquake. 
 
 This mountain is become an object of veneration amongst 
 Christians. The small building erected over the place of 
 ascension is contiguous to a Turkish Mosque, and is in pos- 
 session of the Turks, who shew it for profit. On the summit 
 of this mount, David ascended to address a prayer to Heaven, 
 when he was about to be driven from Jerusalem by the rebel- 
 lion of Absalom. It was at the descent of this mount that 
 our Saviour foretold the destruction of the Holy City, and 
 on its side the army of Titus encamped to accomplish the 
 prediction. 
 
 3. MOUNT CALVARY, 
 
 Or, as it is called in the Hebrew, Golgotha, which signifies 
 the place of skulls. It is supposed to have derived this name 
 from the similitude it bore to the figure of a human skull, or 
 a man's head. It is north of Mount Zion, and on the west of 
 the ancient city Jerusalem. It was on this hill, or mount, that 
 the Jews crucified Jesus Christ, Luke xxxiii. 33. The 
 Christian will ever hold Calvary in sacred remembrance, for on 
 that mount the great work of redemption was accomplished. 
 
 For us he suffered, and for us he bled. 
 
 4. JERUSALEM, 
 
 The metropolis of the kingdom of Judah, and the seat of 
 government during the reigns of David, Solomon, and their 
 successors, was originally called Salem. By that name it is 
 generally supposed to have passed in the days of Abraham, 
 when Melchisedeck, priest of the Most High God, and who 
 is also called " King of Salem" here held his throne. Gen. xiv, 
 18. Heb. vii. 1, 2. It is situated about 25 miles to the west of 
 Judah, and 42 to the eastward of the Mediterranean; 100 
 miles south east of Damascus; 300 miles south of Aleppo; 
 and 200 north east of Grand Cairo. The city was built on 
 four hills, namely, Zion, Acra, Moriah, and Bezetha. The 
 whole foundation was a high rock with steep ascents on every 
 side, except the north, and surrounded with a deep valley, 
 
9 
 
 -*■ 
 
 which was again embosomed with hills. Dr. E. D. Clarke 
 says, this is now a nourishing and stately metropolis ; presen- 
 ting a magnificent assemblage of domes, towers, palaces, 
 churches, and monasteries. Siloa's fountain still flows, and 
 Kedron sometimes murmers in the valley of Jehoshaphat. 
 The Mount of Olives exhibits the appearance it presented in 
 all the periods of its history. Mount Sion is situate on the 
 south side of Jerusalem, and the prophecy concerning it, that 
 the plough should pass over it, has been fulfilled to the letter ; 
 for such labours were actually going on when we arrived. 
 Here the Turks have a Mosque, which they call the Tomb 
 of David. 
 
 5. THE MOUNT, 
 
 On which our Saviour was tempted by Satan. Some sup- 
 pose the name of this mount to be Sinai; others are of a 
 different opinion, but it is not to be disputed that this mount 
 was near Jerusalem, or at some little distance from it. 
 
 6. SODOM. 7. GOMOHRAH, 
 
 Stood formerly on this spot, but were destroyed by fire 
 from heaven on account of the abominable wickedness which 
 prevailed among the inhabitants, Gen. xiii. and chap. xix. 
 
 8. THE CIT1T ©F SAXiT, 
 
 Deriving it's name from Lot's wife who was, owing to 
 her incredulity, love of the world, and in disobedience to God, 
 turned into a pillar. How long this pillar continued we know 
 not. Josephus says, it remained in his time, which was near 
 2000 years after it was formed. Irenseus and Tertullian say, 
 it was standing about A. D. 200. Benjamin of Tudela, the 
 Jewish Traveller avers, that it was standing near 1000 years 
 after, which would make its duration about 3000 years. Some 
 modern Travellers pretend to have seen it, but their relations 
 savour so strongly of fable, and differ so widely, that we can- 
 not credit them. 
 
 9. MOUNT CATSME1. 
 
 This mount is celebrated in the Old Testament, as the usual 
 place of residence of the prophets Elijah and Elisha, 1 Kings, 
 xviii. It is also supposed to have been the mount upon which 
 our Saviour preached the immutable sermon recorded in Matt, 
 v. There is said to be a view on the highest part of this 
 mount, which for its grandeur independently of the interest 
 
 B 
 
10 
 
 excited by the different objects contained in it, has not its 
 equal in the Holy Land. Mons. Chateaubriand, in his late 
 book of travels, has given a lively description of the first 
 impressions produced on himself and fellow passengers by the 
 sight of this celebrated mountain, as they approached the 
 coast of Syria, on their voyage from Constantinople to 
 Joppa. " I was sleeping on deck," says he, " in the morning 
 of the 30th September, 1806, when I was roused by a confu- 
 sed sound of voices. I opened my eyes, and perceived all 
 the pilgrims looking towards the prow of the vessel. I asked 
 what was the matter, and they called out to me, Signior il 
 Carmelo ! Mount Carmel ! A breeze had sprung up at eight 
 the preceding evening, and in the night we had come in sight 
 of the coast of Syria. As I had laid down in my clothes, I 
 was soon on my legs inquiring which was the sacred mountain. 
 Each was eager to point it out to me, but I could see nothing 
 of it, because the sun began to rise in our faces. From time 
 to time a cry was raised on the prow, when Carmel again 
 appeared in sight. At length I myself perceived that moun- 
 tain, like a round spot beneath the rays of the sun. The sight 
 of the cradle of the Israelites, and the birth-place of Christi- 
 anity, filled me with awe and veneration. I was just arriving 
 in that land of wonders, at the sources of the most astonish- 
 ing poesy, at the spot, where, humanly speaking, happened 
 the greatest event that ever changed the face of the world, 
 namely, the advent of the Messiah. As we approached 
 nearer, and the sun got higher, the land became more dis- 
 tinctly visible; the last point that we perceived in the distance 
 on our left, towards the north, was the Cape of Tyre; next 
 came Cape Blanco, Ptolemais, Mount Carmel with Caifa at its 
 foot, Dora, and Csesarea, the ruins of which are to be seen." 
 Chateaubriand's Travels in Greece, Palestine, &c. vol. i. 
 p. 358. 
 
 lO. BETHEL, 
 
 A city situate about eight miles north of Jerusalem, on 
 the confines of the tribes of Ephraim and Benjamin. The 
 patriarch Jacob flying from the anger of his brother Esau, 
 and while journeying towards Mesopotamia, arrived in the 
 evening of the day at a place where he wished to pass the 
 night; and taking one of the stones which lay there, he 
 placed it under his head for a pillow and fell asleep. Gen. 
 xxviii. 1 1 . Rising early in the morning, Jacob took the stone 
 of which he had made his bolster, set it up for a pillar, poured 
 oil upon th« top of it, and called the name of the place Bethel, 
 or " the house of God." This refers to a remarkable vision 
 
11 
 
 *f^w mm»i *•*■ <r- 
 
 which the patriarch had during the nighi, when Jehovah ap- 
 peared to him, and renewed the covenant with him, which he 
 had formerly entered into with Abraham and Isaac, and in 
 which he pledged himself to fulfil all the promises that he had 
 made to his ancestors. 
 
 11. BETHANY, 
 
 A town of some note, situated at the foot of the Mount of 
 Olives, about fifteen furlongs eastward of Jerusalem. Here 
 it was that Mary and Martha lived with their brother Lazarus, 
 whom Jesus raised from the dead, John xi. 18. It is memor- 
 able also as the place where the friends of Jesus provided a 
 supper for him and his disciples, a few days only before his 
 death, at which Mary poured the perfume on the Saviour's 
 head, ch, xii. 2. The following account of the place, which 
 we transcribed from Maundrell, may gratify our readers. 
 
 " Having crossed the valley of Jehoshaphat, and part of 
 Mount Olivet, we came in half an hour to Bethany ; at pre- 
 sent only a small village. At the first entrance into it is an 
 old ruin, which they call Lazarus's castle, supposed to have 
 been the mansion house of that favourite of our Lord. At 
 the bottom of a small descent, not far from the castle, is 
 shewn the sepulchre out of which he was raised to a second 
 mortality, by that enlivening voice of Christ, " Lazarus 
 come forth." You descend into the sepulchre by twenty- 
 five steps ; at the bottom of which, you first arrive at a small 
 square room, and from thence you creep down into another 
 lesser room, about a yard and a half deeper, in which the body 
 is said to have been laid." 
 
 12. BETHPHAGE, 
 
 A small village, situated on a part of the Mount of Olives, 
 and it would seem rather nearer to the city of Jerusalem than 
 Bethany. This is inferred from the circumstance that Jesus 
 having, six days before the passover, come to Bethany, where 
 he had formerly raised Lazarus from the dead, John xii. 1, 
 and ascending up towards Jerusalem, he came to Bethphage, 
 from whence he sent two of his disciples into a neighbouring 
 village to fetch the colt on which he made his triumphant 
 entry into the city. 
 
 13. JACOB'S WELL. 
 
 Although this well does not make a conspicuous figure in 
 the model of the Holy Land, we cannot forbear offering a 
 remark or two on the spot. The conversation between the 
 woman of Samaria and our Saviour, is one of no small mo- 
 
12 
 
 ment. It excited astonishment in this woman to see such 
 familiarity in Jesus, believing him to be a Jew, who had no 
 dealings with the Samaritans ; but as the Saviour must " needs 
 go through Samaria," it was, no doubt, to make known to 
 this woman, that he came to seek and to save the lost — and to 
 call sinners to repentance. The whole coincidence of her life 
 being related, she was filled with astonishment, and hastened to 
 inform her friends of a man who "told her all things that ever 
 she did," and such were the effects produced, that the whole 
 city came to see him. The visit brought conviction to their 
 minds, who it is supposed discredited her report, but having 
 seen him themselves " they believed" : — thus it is that this 
 well excites a lively interest in the heart of every Christian. 
 
 14. SHECHERE, 
 
 Sichem, Sichar, Sychar, Mabartha, or Neapolis, is the 
 capital of Samaria. Trade, say Dr. Clarke, seems to flourish 
 here ; the principal employment is in making soap, which they 
 export on camels. In its ancient sepulchres were buried 
 Joseph, (whose bones the children of Israel brought out of 
 Egypt,) Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the great leader of 
 the children of Israel. Along the valley we beheld a company 
 of lshmaelites coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing 
 spices, balm, and myrrh. The circumstance of Joseph being 
 sold to the lshmaelites, must instantly recur to the mind. 
 Jacob's well is near this place, where our Saviour revealed 
 himself to the woman of Samaria. There is nothing finer in 
 the Holy Land than the view of Shechem, (now called 
 Naplouse,) from the heights around it. As the traveller np- 
 proaches towards it from the hills, it appears luxuriantly 
 seated in the most delightful fragrant bowers, half concealed 
 by rich gardens, and by stately trees collected into groves all 
 round the bold and beautiful valley in which it stands. 
 
 15. SAMARIA 
 
 Is the middle province of the Holy Land, and contains a 
 city of the same name, built by Omri, king of Israel, who 
 began to reign A. M. 3079. He bought the hill Samaria from 
 Shemer, or Shomeron, for two talents of. silver ; and from 
 Shemer does the name of Samaria originate. Samaria did 
 not become the capital of the kingdom of Israel till after the 
 reign of Omri ; before whose reign the kings of Israel dwelt 
 at Shechem. Ahab built in this city a palace superbly orna- 
 mented with ivory. Ben-hadad, king of Syria, considerably 
 
13 
 
 enlarged and beautified Samaria. His son Ben-hadad be- 
 sieged it during the reign of Ahab, A.M, 3103, but was 
 defeated. The following year Ben-hadad brought another 
 army into the field, but this army was likewise destroyed. In 
 3119, A.M Ben-hadad again attacked Samaria, and reduced 
 it to great distress, but it was ultimately relieved. It was 
 besieged by Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, in the ninth year 
 of Hoshea, king of Israel, which was the fourth of Hezekiah, 
 king of Judah, A M. 3280. The prophet Hosea speaks of 
 the cruelties exercised by Shalmaneser ; and Micah says, this 
 city was reduced to a heap of stones. 
 
 IB. MOUNT GERIEIKI, 
 
 The name of a mountain near Shechem, in the tribe of 
 Ephraim, and province of Samaria, on which the Samaritan's 
 erected their temple, in oppositon to the temple of Jerusalem. 
 Deut. xi. 29. It is the place referred to by the woman of 
 Samaria in her converse with the Saviour. John iv. 20. 
 
 17. THE RIVER JORDAN. 
 
 The uppermost spring of Jordan is mount Lebanon, about 
 twelve miles north of Ca?sarea-philippi. After it has run 
 about twelve miles more to the south, it receives a more con- 
 siderable branch, which, under ground, proceeds from the 
 lake named Phiala. About fifteen miles further south, it 
 also forms the waters of Merom, or lake of Samechon; both 
 names signifying the higher lake, which is near four miles 
 broad, and seven and a half long. After running about 
 twenty-eight miles further south, it forms the lake of Genesa- 
 reth, which is about thirteen miles in lepgth, and five in 
 breadth. From thence it runs southward through a long val- 
 ley, the air of which is unwholesome, and most of it desert, till 
 it discharges itself in the Dead Sea. Its whole course is 
 about 1 60 miles It once overflowed its banks in March or 
 April, by means of the melting of the snow on Lebanon and 
 Hermon; but from the testimony of Maundrell, it seems it does 
 not so now, to any degree. Perhaps the reason is, that its 
 channel is now sunk deeper. Before it enters the Dead Sea, 
 its ordinary current is but thirty yards in breadth, according 
 to Shaw; but is exceeding deep even at the edge of its inner 
 bank. It has an outer bank, about a furlong of distance from 
 the other; such it seems was its width when it was swelled. 
 The banks of a great part of it are so covered with thickets, 
 that in any place one cannot see it, till at the very brink of it, 
 
14 
 
 and in these thickets lions were wont to lodge, but were 
 driven thence by the overflowing of the river ; at which sea- 
 son, they wandered about and were dangerous to such as 
 dwelt near. Jer. xlix. 19. The deep stream of Jordan was 
 divided under Joshua, and by Elijah and Elisha, John bap- 
 tized multitudes in the river Jordan, and our Saviour among 
 the rest. Josh. iii. 2 Kings ii. Matt. iii. MaundreWs Travels 
 in the Holy Land. 
 
 18. JERICHO. 
 
 Moses calls it the city of palm trees, from the great num- 
 ber of palm trees growing in the plain of Jericho Josephus 
 says, that in the territory of this city were not only many palm 
 trees grown, but likewise the balsam tree. The valley of 
 Jericho was watered by a rivulet which had been formerly salt 
 and bitter, but was sweetened by the prophet Elisha. Jericho 
 was the first city in Canaan taken by Joshua. He sent spies 
 thither, who were received by Rahab, were lodged in her house, 
 and preserved from the king of Jericho. Joshua receiving 
 God's orders to besiege Jericho, soon after his passage over 
 Jordan, set fire to it, and consecrated all the gold, silver, and 
 brass. Then Joshua said, cursed be the man before the Lord 
 who shall rebuild Jericho. Hiel of Bethel, about 537 years 
 afterwards, undertook to rebuild it. He lost his eldest son 
 Abirim while laying the foundations, and his youngest son 
 Segub, when he hung up the gates. However we were not 
 to imagine that there was no city of Jericho till the time of 
 Hiel. There was a city of palm trees, the same, probably, 
 as Jericho, under the Judges, under Eglon, king of Moab, 
 David's Ambassadors, who had been insulted by the Ammo- 
 nites, resided at Jericho till their beards were grown again. 
 Josephus distinguishes these two places, when he says, that in 
 his time near ancient Jericho, which was destroyed by Joshua, 
 there was a fountain which abounded with water. 
 
 In our Saviour's time it was a splendid city, and one of the 
 seats of the courts of government of the Hebrews ; it was in 
 passing this mountain that Jesus Christ put forth his power, 
 thereby proving himself to be the Son of God. Zaccheus 
 became the subject of his grace Bartimaeus received his sight ; 
 and other miracles were witnessed by the multitude then about 
 to repair with him to Jerusalem, which drew from them excla- 
 mations of praise and thanksgiving to God, for the mighty 
 works they had seen, Mark x. Luke xix. 
 
15 
 
 19. MOUNT NEBO. 
 
 This mountain is beyond Jordan, and is remarkable for 
 being the place where Moses died, the particulars of which 
 we gather from Holy Writ. " And the Lord spake unto 
 Moses that self-same day, saying, Get thee up into this moun- 
 tain Abarim, unto mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, 
 that is over against Jericho ; and behold the land of Canaan, 
 which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession : and 
 die in the mount whither thou goest up, and be gathered unto 
 thy people ; as Aaron thy brother died in mount Hor, and 
 was gathered unto his people: because ye trespassed against 
 me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah- 
 Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin ; because ye sanctified me 
 not in the midst of the children of Israel. Yet thou shalt see 
 the land before thee ; but thou shalt not go thither unto the 
 land which I give the children of Israel." Deut. xxxii. 48 — 50. 
 
 20. TYRE, 
 
 Tyrus, Tsor, or Tzor. The city of Tyre, mentioned by 
 Solomon, is considered to have been Old Tyre, which was 
 mentioned by Joshua. It is said that Hiram, king of Tyre, 
 the friend of Solomon, joined to the city of Tyre the temple 
 of Hercules, (which stood by itself in the island,) by a mole, 
 formed by throwing earth, &c, into the sea. Shalmaneser, 
 king of Assyria, made war against the Tyrians with a fleet of 
 sixty ships, and eight hundred rowers. The Tyrians had but 
 twelve ships, nevertheless they obtained the victory, dispersed 
 the king's fleet, and took five hundred prisoners. Ezekiel 
 informs us that Nebuchadnezzar beseiged Tyre A. M. 3419, 
 and laid it in ruins ; but this refers to Old Tyre, for New Tyre 
 flourished long after the time of Nebuchadnezzar. It even 
 recovered itself after its destruction by Alexander the Great. 
 In the time of St .Paul there were numerous believers in Tyre, 
 and afterwards the church of Tyre became very celebrated. 
 It produced a great number of martyrs for the christian faith, 
 and several illustrious bishops. 
 
 21. MOUNT LEBANON, 
 
 A famous mountain which separates Syria from Palestine. 
 The western part of this chain of mountains, is properly called 
 Libanus. The other part, eastward, extends from south to 
 north, and is called by the Greeks Anti-Libanus. Between 
 these two mountains is a long valley called Coele-Syria, or 
 
16 
 
 Hollow Syria, the Valley of Lebanon. Libanus is from the 
 Hebrew Leban, white ; this name was given to it, in all prob- 
 ability, on accouut of the snow which is generally seen on the 
 tops of the highest parts of the mountains. Libanus is about 
 one hundred leagues in circumference ; it is composed of four 
 enclosures of mountains, which rise one on the other. The 
 first is very rich in grain and fruits; the second is barren, 
 abounding in thorns, rock, and flints; the third, though higher 
 enjoys a perpetual spring, the trees being always green, 
 and the orchards abound with fruit ; the fourth is so high that 
 the tops are generally covered with snow. This explanation 
 of the four different parts, may account for the apparently 
 contradictory reports given by ancient and modern travellers: 
 many of whom have not, perhaps, minutely inspected its 
 various parts. Moses had a strong desire to see Lebanon, 
 but was only allowed a distant prospect ofit,Deut. iii. 25. 
 and xxxiv. From Lebanon, Solomon had his wood for the 
 temple and other structures : from Lebanon, the Tyrians and 
 Sidonians had their wood for shipping and building : from 
 Lebanon the Assyrians and Chaldeans had a great part of the 
 wood they used in their sieges of the cities of Syria, Canaan, 
 and Phoenicia : but all its wood was not sufficient to burn one 
 sacrifice that could truly expiate sin, Tsa. xxxiii. 
 
 22. CAPEENAUBI, 
 
 Near the Sea of Galilee ; a city celebrated in the Gospels, 
 where Jesus Christ principally resided during the three years 
 of his ministry. It existed in the seventh and eight centuries, 
 as appears by the travels of Adamnanus and St. Willibaldus. 
 Our Saviour preached frequently, and performed many mira- 
 cles here, but the inhabitants were not much benefited by his 
 instructions ; on which he reproached them for their unbelief, 
 and assured them that if as many miracles had been performed 
 in Tyre and Sidon, though heathen cities, they would have 
 been converted. At Capernaum Jesus Christ called Matthew 
 to follow him. 
 
 23. TIBERIAS. 
 
 Herod, the Tetrarch, who built this city, endowed it with 
 great advantages. Its convenient situation soon made it con- 
 siderable, and it became the metropolis of Galilee. When 
 Agrippa was obliged to leave Rome, he retired thither, with 
 his uncle Herod. The Emperor Claudis afterwards bestowed 
 it on him, for which reason the medals had on them the name 
 of Claudius Tiberias. Josephus took possession of it at the 
 
17 
 
 time of the wars of the Jews, and punished an officer who 
 came to propose terms of peace from the Romans. In this 
 city, certain Jews, and some of the most learned of their 
 priests, after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, 
 assembled and laid the foundation of an Academy, which be- 
 came famous by the Mishna which was composed in it, by 
 the celebrated labours of the Masorites, the authors of the 
 pointed vowels ; and by the reputation of the doctors who 
 there kept their schools. In this city also resided the Patri- 
 arch of the nation. According to Dr. Clarke, at the present 
 day this place, like most of the Turkish citadels makes a con- 
 spicuous figure without, but exhibits the utmost wretchedness 
 within : no antiquities remain, except the ruins of the house 
 of St. Peter, to whom our Saviour appeared after his resur- 
 rection. The lake was the scene of a most bloody naval 
 engagement between the Romans under Vespasian, and the 
 Jews who had revolted during the administration of Agrippa, 
 but the vessels were then mere boats. Tiberias is now 
 inhabited principally by Jews, who are said to be descendants 
 of families resident there in the time of our Saviour. The 
 Christian inhabitants are also numerous. 
 
 24. NAEAHETH, 
 
 A city in the tribe of Zebulon, in lower Galilee situated to 
 the west of mount Tabor, and east of Ptolemais. It is much 
 celebrated in scripture for having been the stated residence 
 of Jesus Christ, until he entered upon his public ministry, 
 Luke ii. 15. and was afterwards frequently visited by him. 
 The town, still exists, and was lately visited by some English 
 travellers, who assure us that it occupies exactly the same spot 
 as the place anciently did. " Induced by the words of the 
 evangelist," says one of them " to examine the place more 
 attentively than we should otherwise have done, we went, as 
 it is written, out of the city, unto the brow of the hill whereon 
 the city was built, and came to a precipice corresponding 
 with the words of the Gospel. It is above the Maronite 
 church, and probably the precise spot alluded to by the texts 
 of St. Luke's Gospel/' See Clarke's Travels into the Holy 
 Land, &c. part 2. ch. xiii. p. 437. 
 
 25. CANA OF GALItiEE, 
 
 A small town in which Christ performed his first miracle, 
 namely, that of converting water into wine. John ii. 1 , 2 — 1 1 , 
 It was called Caria of Galilee to distinguish it from another 
 place of the same name, mentioned in Josh. xix. 28, belonging 
 
18 
 
 to the tribe of Asher, and which was situated In the neigh- 
 bourhood of Sidon, much farther north than Cana of Galilee, 
 the latter of which places lay in the tribe of Zebulon, and at 
 no great distance from Nazareth. It was the native place of 
 Nathaniel, one of the apostles, John xxi. 2. and was, in all 
 probability, frequently honoured with the Saviour's presence. 
 Cana still exists, and was visited a few years ago by Dr, 
 Clarke and his fellow travellers, who breakfasted there as 
 they passed through it in their way from Nazareth to Tiberias. 
 It is worthy of note, says Dr. Clarke, that, walking among 
 the ruins of a church, we saw large massy stone pots, answer- 
 ing the description given of the ancient vessels of the country; 
 not preserved nor exhibited as reliques, but lying about, 
 disregarded by the present inhabitants, as antiquities with 
 whose original use they were unacquainted. From their 
 appearance, and the number of them, it was quite evident that 
 a practice of keeping water in large stone pots, each holding 
 from eighteen to twenty-seven gallons, was once common in 
 the country. Clarke s Travels, part ii. ch. xiv. p. 454. 
 
 26. C^ESAlSISAj 
 
 In Palestine, (formerly called Strata's Tower,) built by 
 Herod the Great, in honour of Augustus, was situated on the 
 eastern coast of the Mediterranean, and had a very fine har- 
 bour. Vespasian, after the Jewish war, settled a Roman col- 
 ony here : its inhabitants Avere partly Jews and partly Greeks, 
 i. e., idolaters. Hence arose very frequent contentions 
 between them. Caesarea is often mentioned in the New Tes- 
 tament. Here king Agrippa was smitten by the Lord, for 
 neglecting to give God the glory, when the people were so 
 liberal to him of their flattery. Cornelius, the Centurian, 
 who was baptized by Peter, resided here. Also Philip, the 
 Deacon, with his four daughters. At Caesarea, the prophet 
 A gab us foretold to the apostle Paul, that he would be bound 
 at Jerusalem. Paul continued two years prisoner at Caesarea, 
 till he could conveniently be conducted to Rome, because he 
 had appealed to Nero. Whenever Caesarea is named, as a 
 city of Palestine, without the addition of Phrlippi, we suppose 
 this Caesarea 1 to be meant. 
 
 7. CJESAREA PHIIiIPPI, 
 
 Situate at the foot of Mount Paneus, near the springs of 
 Jordan. Philip the Tetrarch built this city, or at least, 
 embellished and enlarged it, and named it Caesarea, in honour 
 of the Emperor Tiberius; but afterwards, in compliment to 
 Nero, it was called Neronias. The woman, who was healed 
 
19 
 
 by our Saviour, is said to have been of Csesarea Philippi, 
 and to have returned thither after her cure. Report also 
 said, she erected there a statue to her benefactor, (probably a 
 small one, and of brass.) Julian the apostate displaced this 
 figure, and set up his own in its stead : but the Christian 
 inhabitants placed it honourably in their church. That of 
 Julian was consumed by lightning 1 . 
 
 28. BETHSAIDA. 
 
 Bethsaida, was frequently honoured with the presence of 
 the Son of God, while engaged in the discharge of his public 
 ministry ; its inhabitants enjoyed many precious opportunities 
 of hearing the glad tidings of salvation, published by the lips 
 of truth itself, and they saw the divine mission and doctrine cf 
 the Saviour, attested by the most stupendous miracles. Mark 
 viii. 22 — 25. But in their general conduct they appear 
 to have exmeplified the prophetic complaint, " Who hath 
 believed our report and to whom is the arm of the Lord 
 revealed ?" Isa. liii. ] . And hence that solemn and most 
 affecting apostrophe; "Woe, unto thee, Bethsaida! for if 
 the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon, which 
 have been done in thee, they had long ago repented, sitting 
 in sack-cloth and ashes ; but it shall be more tolerable for 
 Tyre and Sidon in the day of judgment than for thee - " Matt, 
 xi. 21, 22. Lukex. 13. 
 
 This city lies on the north end of the lake of Gennesereth, 
 or Sea of Galilee, just where the river Jordan runs into the 
 latter. As it belonged to the tribe of Naphtali, a country 
 which abounded in deer, Gen. xlix. 21, it was noted for the 
 pastime of hunting ; and its situation upon the lake occasioned 
 many of its inhabitants to follow the occupation of fishing. 
 The two apostles, Peter and Andrew, were inhabitants of this 
 city, and fishermen by trade. John i. 44. It was also the 
 native place of Philip, and probably of Nathanael. 
 
 29. HERDSON, 
 
 A celebrated mountain in the Hoty Land, often spoken of 
 in scripture. It was in the northern boundary of the country, 
 beyond Jordan, and in the territories which originally 
 belonged to Og, king of Bashan, Josh. xii. 5, and xiii. 5. 
 The Psalmist connects Tabor and Hermon together, upon 
 more than one occasion, Ps. lxxxix. 12,. and cxxxiii. 3, from 
 which it may be inferred that they lay contiguous to each 
 other. This is agreeable to the account that is given us by 
 travellers; for, in describing Mount Tabor, Maundrell ha» 
 
20 
 
 the following remark : not man} leagues distant eastward you 
 see Mount Hermon, at the foot of which is seated the city of 
 Nain, famous for our Lord's raising the widow's son there, 
 Luke vii. 14, and Endor, the place where dwelt the witch con- 
 sulted by Saul. Turning a little southward you have in view 
 the high mountains of Gilboa, fatal to Saul and his sons. 
 MaundrelV s Journey, p. 115. 
 
 30. THE DEAD SEA. 
 
 This sea receives all the water of the Jordan, the brooks 
 Arnon and Jabbok, and others, from the neighbouring moun- 
 tains. It has no visible issue, yet it does not overflow, because 
 the evaporation from its surface compensates for all these 
 influxes. As the Hebrews call nitre and bitumen salt, the 
 Dead Sea is called by them — the Salt Sea. Its desolate, 
 although majestic features, are all well suited to the tales related 
 concerning it by the inhabitants of the country, who all speak 
 of it with terror, seeming to shrink from the narrative of its 
 deceitful allurements and deadly influence. Beautiful fruit, 
 say they, grows upon its shores, which is no sooner touched 
 than it becomes dust and bitter ashes. In addition to its phy- 
 sical horrors, the region around it is said to be more perilous, 
 owing to the ferocious tribes wandering upon its shores, than 
 any other part of the Holy Land. A passion for the marvel- 
 lous has thus affixed for ages, false characteristics to the subli- 
 mest associations of natural scenery in the whole world ; for, 
 although it be now known that the waters of this lake, instead 
 of proving destructive of animal life, swarm with myriads of 
 fishes ; that, instead of falling victims to its exhalations, certain 
 birds make it their peculiar resort ; that shells abound upon its 
 shores ; that the pretended fruit containing ashes, is as natural 
 and as admirable a production of nature as the rest of the ve- 
 getable kingdoms ; that bodies sink or float in it, according to 
 the proportion of their gravity to the gravity of the water ; 
 that its vapours are not more insalubrious than those of any 
 other lake ; that innumerable Arabs people the neighbouring 
 district; notwithstanding all these facts are now well estab- 
 lished, even the latest authors by whom it is mentioned, and 
 one among the number, from whose writings these truths have 
 been derived, continue to fill their descriptions with imaginary 
 horrors, and ideal phantoms, which, though less substantial than 
 the black perpendicular rocks around it, cast their lengthened 
 shadows over the waters of the Dead Sea. Dr. Clarke'* 
 Travels, part i. ch. xviii.

 31. THE SEA OF GAtH.EE. 
 
 Galilee is a province of the Holy Land, extending itself 
 chiefly towards its northern parts. It was inhabited by the 
 tribes of Issachar, Zebulon> Naphtali, and Ashur, with part 
 of Dan, and included Persea beyond Jordan. It was bounded 
 on the north by Syria and the mountains of Lebanon ; on 
 the west by Phoenicia; on the south by ^amaria; and on 
 the east by the river Jordan and sea of Galilee. It was 
 generally divided into two parts, the Upper and the Lower 
 Galilee, of which the former was called " Galilee of the Gen- 
 tiles, " Matt. iv. 15, either owing to its being chiefly peopled 
 by the Gentiles, or because it bordered on Gentile nations, 
 such as the Phoenicians, Syrians, and Arabians. Josephus 
 says, the whole country was fruitful, and well cultivated, 
 and the people indefatigably industrious. The number of 
 its towns and villages was prodigious, and the population so 
 immense that the least of them did not contain less than fif- 
 teen thousand inhabitants. 
 
 Nazareth, in which Christ was brought up, was one of the 
 cities of Galilee, and hence he was frequently reproached 
 with being a Galilean. Many of his disciples, and almost all 
 the apostles, were natives of Galilee, and consequently termed 
 Galileans. Their dialect Was provincial, and could easily be 
 detected by the other Jews ; hence, at a time when Peter 
 would gladly have concealed himself, his Galilean accent 
 betrayed him. Matt. xxvi. 73. 
 
 32. MAIN, 
 
 A city of Palestine, in the neighbourhood of Endor and 
 Scythopolis; about two miles to the south of Mount Tabor. 
 It is memorable, as the place where our Lord restored to life 
 the son of a widow, as they were conveying him to interment. 
 Luke vii 11 — 17. 
 
 33. KADESH BARNEA, 
 
 A city in the inheritance of the tribe of Judah ; was situa- 
 ted about eight leagues south of Hebron. It was originally 
 called En-mishpat, Gen. xiv. 7, and is celebrated for several 
 memorable occurrences. It was at this city that Miriam the 
 sister of Moses died, Numb. xx. 1. It was at Kadesh also 
 that Moses incurred the divine displeasure for " not sanctify- 
 ing the Lord in the eyes of the children of Israel " Numb. 
 xx. 10—12; ch. xxvii 14. Deut. xxxii. 51. When Joshua 
 
32 
 
 took possession of the promised land, Kadesh was a royal city* 
 the king of which was one of those whom he conquered and 
 slew. Josh. xii. 22. 
 
 34. GERAR, 
 
 A royal city of the Philistines, situated not far from the 
 angle where the south and west borders of Palestine meet. 
 The country to which it gave name extended into Arabia 
 Petrsea. In the days of Abraham and Isaac, it was the resi- 
 dence of kings, who successively took the name of Abimelech; 
 and those two patriarchs being under the necessity of taking 
 up their residence for a time in Gerar, were obliged, for the 
 preservation of their lives, to 1 say that their wives were only 
 their sisters. 
 
 35. HEBRON, 
 
 One of the most ancient and renowned cities of the world. 
 It was built seven years before Zoan, or, according to the 
 Septuagint, Tanais, the capital of Lower Egypt, Numb. xiii. 
 22. It was situated upon an eminence twenty miles south of 
 Jerusalem, and the same distance north of Beersheba. Abra- 
 ham, Sarah, and Isaac, were buried near the city of Hebron, 
 in the cave of Machpelah, which the father of the faithful 
 purchased of Ephron. Gen. xxiii. 7 — 19. It was near this 
 place that the venerable patriarch received the visit of the 
 angels, and entertained them as recorded in Gen. ch. xviii. 
 When the Israelites took possession of the promised land, this 
 city fell to the lot of the tribe of Judah, and was particularly 
 assigned as the inheritance of Caleb, Josh. xiv. 13. It was 
 one of the cities of refuge, and appointed as a dwelling for the 
 priests, Josh. xxi. 13. After Saul's decease, David fixed his 
 residence there, and it was for a time the metropolis of his 
 kingdom. 2 Sam. ii. 2 — 5. 
 
 36. JOPPA, 
 
 A sea-port town, pleasantly situated on the shores of the 
 Mediterranean sea, about thirty miles north-west from Jeru- 
 salem, from which it was seen, as it stood on a hill amidst a 
 delightful plain. It is thought by some to have been built 
 before the flood : but afterwards, it perhaps belonged to the 
 Danites. In the days of Solomon, it was a noted sea-port, 
 where the wood brought from Lebanon was unloaded. It 
 was probably so in the time of Jeroboam the second, when 
 Jonah sailed from it to Tarshish. Here Peter restored Dor- 
 cas to life, and received the messages of Cornelius, Josh, 
 xix. 46. 2 Chron. ii. 16. Acts ix. and x. 
 
23 
 
 37. ZAREFitEf H, 
 
 ■ 
 
 A city of the Sidonians, situate hvjFhenicia, between Tyre 
 and Sidon, upon the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is 
 memorable as the place of residence pf the. prophet Elijah, 
 with a poor woman during a time of famine in the land of 
 Israel. I Kings xvii. 9, 10. 
 
 : 
 
 38. PTOIiEM&SS, 
 
 A sea-port town of Palestine, on the shores of the Medi- 
 terranean, and belonging to the tribe of Asher. It was fre- 
 quently called Accho, and still subsists Under the name of 
 Acre. It will long be memorable for J the siege it sustained a 
 few years ago against the power of ''the French army under 
 the command of Napoleon Bonaparte.

 A renowned city, and capital of Phoenicia, was founded by 
 Sidon, the eldest son of Canaan. Gen x. 15. Joshua terms ; 
 it Sidon the great, by way of eminence, Josh. xi. 8. and xix. 
 27. It is situated on the shore of the Mediterranean, in a 
 fine country, about sixty miles from the city of Damascus, and 
 has always been noted for its extensive trade and commerce^ 
 
 40. MASADA, 
 
 This was one of the last places to which the Jews had fled 
 after the taking of Jerusalem by Titus. It was commanded 
 by one Eleazar a potent man, in whom the Jews placed un- 
 limited confidence as their chief. Flavious Silva, the com- 
 mander of the Roman army, lay siege to it; for the more 
 speedy demolition of which, he formed an embankment 
 against it : but finding the impossibility of causing them to 
 surrender by famine, he at length made a breach in the wall ; 
 upon perceiving which, Eleazar called his people together, 
 and addressed them as Josephus says, to the following effect : 
 " Let us die before we become slaves under our enemies ; 
 and let us go out of the world, together with our children, and 
 our wives, in a state of freedom. This it is that our laws 
 command us to do. This it is that our wives and children 
 crave at our hands. Nay, God himself has brought this ne- 
 cessity upon us. While the Romans desire the contrary ; 
 and are afraid lest any of us should die before we are taken, 
 let us, therefore, make haste ; and, instead of affording them 
 so much pleasure, as they expect, in getting us under their 
 power ; let us leave them an example which shall at once 
 
24 
 
 cause their astonishment at our death, and their admiration 
 of our fortitude." Wars of the Jews, Book 7. chap. viii. 
 
 Such was the effect tffidnarrangue made upon their minds, 
 ihat they immediately proceeded upon the destruction of their 
 wives and children, having- first affectionately embraced them, 
 evincing -every symptom' of conjugal endearment and pa- 
 rental affection ; of whom none escaped except an ancient 
 woman, and another who was of kin to Eleazar, a female, su- 
 perior to most of her sex- in prudence and learning. These 
 two females, with five children, concealed themselves in ca- 
 verns under ground, who, while the slaughter was going on, 
 carried water thither for their sustenance. After the accom- 
 plishment of this destruction, such were the effects of Eleaear's 
 harrapgue that each 6eerqed to consider it a disgrace to be 
 alive : piled their remaining property in a heap, set fire to it, 
 and then chose ten men by lot from among themselves to slay 
 the rest, every one of which taid himself by the side of his 
 wife and children on the ground, placed their arms around 
 them, then offeredtheir neck for the stroke of those who, by 
 lot, executed the melancholy office. The survivors then drew 
 lots for the destruction of each other, and ultimately the only 
 swrVivor set fire to the palace, and then threw himself upon 
 his sword with su'ch force, as instantly to expire near his rela- 
 tiohs. The Roman army upon their approach the following 
 morning were surprised at the solemn silence which per- 
 vaded this place, and imagined it some trick of the Jews ; 
 whereupon they made a shout, on which the women came 
 for^h from *he cavern with the children and related to the 
 besejgers the melancholy event.
