Subjects in this Topic:
(Heb. laeroth', îָøåֹú , bitter fountains; Sept. ὀäýíáé , Vulg. a emaritudines), a place apparently not far from Jerusalem, on the route of the invading Assyrian army from Lachish (Mic_1:12; see Henderson, Comment. ad loc.). Schwarz (Palest. p. 107) conjectures it was identical with Maarath (Jos_15:59); but this name is very different in the Hebrew.
