⁸ And from Mount Hor the line will go in the direction of Hamath; the farthest point of it will be at Zedad:

¹⁶ To Zedad, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the limit of Damascus and the limit of Hazar-hatticon, which is on the limit of Hauran.

¹⁷ And this is the limit from the sea in the direction of Hazar-enon; and the limit of Damascus is to the north, and on the north is the limit of Hamath. This is the north side.

⁸ The people of Zidon and Arvad were your boatmen; the wise men of Zemer were in you; they were guiding your ships;

⁹ Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

⁴ And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

³⁰ The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

²⁴ Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.

⁹ And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

²² And Beth-arabah and Zemaraim and Beth-el

² As well as Hamath, which is by its limit, and Tyre and Zidon, because they are very wise.
