<p> Ama´na, a mountain mentioned in Song of [[Solomon]] 4:8. Some have supposed it to be Mount Amanus in Cilicia, to which the dominion of Solomon is alleged to have extended northward. But the context, with other circumstances, leaves little doubt that this Mount [[Amana]] was rather the southern part or summit of Anti-Libanus, and was so called perhaps from containing the sources of the river Amana [ABANA]. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||
