James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Harosheth


Subjects in this Topic:

HAROSHETH.—A place mentioned only in the account of the fight with Sisera (Jdg_4:2; Jdg_4:13; Jdg_4:16). From it Sisera advanced, and thither he fled. It has been identified with the modern Tell el-Harathiyeh, which is 16 miles N. N. W. from Megiddo. But this is uncertain; nor do we know why the descriptive epithet ‘of the Gentiles’ is added.
