Subjects in this Topic:
("habitation".) An ancient, royal, Canaanite city, on the Mediterranean, S. of Carmel; assigned to Manasseh, though within Asher (; ; ); miles N. of Caesarea toward Ptolemais; now Tantura. The coast line runs parallel to a spur of Carmel at a mile and a half distance; the intervening "region" is the "border" or "coast" of Dor. The original inhabitants were not expelled, but David made them tributary, and Solomon stationed one of his commissariat officers there (; -28).
