2. Calneh —on the east bank of the Tigris. Once powerful, but recently subjugated by Assyria ( :- ; about 794 B.C.). Hameth —subjugated by Jeroboam II ( 2 Kings 14:25 ). Also by Assyria subsequently ( 2 Kings 14:25- : ). Compare Amos 6:14 . Gath —subjugated by Uzziah ( 2 Chronicles 26:6 ). be they better —no. Their so recent subjugation renders it needless for Me to tell you they are not. And yet they once were; still they could not defend themselves against the enemy. How vain, then, your secure confidence in the strength of Mounts Zion and Samaria! He takes cities respectively east, north, south, and west of Israel (compare Nahum 3:8 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
