This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Hamath; very near to the head of Eleutherus, or Gebat, and to Sedada: it is likely to be that mentioned Isa_10:9, situate about the middle of the north boundary of the land, called sometime Epiphania, from Antiochus Epiphanes, who repaired it, and some say now called Enimas.
Berothah; Berotha, a small and inconsiderable town or village lying east of Sedada. Sibraim, or Sabarim, a place of no further note than the former, known thus by being a boundary. It lay between these two, Hamath to the west of it, and Damascus to the east by north, somewhat nearer to Hamath than to Damascus.
Hazar-hatticon; though we render it as a proper name, some render it otherwise. The small villages between them two, (so the French,) i.e. between Hamath and Hauran.
Hauran, or Auran, some miles beyond Jordan, eastward from Hamath, which also gives name to the country called Auranitis.
