<p> (Heb. Tsepha'thah, צְפָתָה , watchtower; Sept. κατὰ βοῤᾶν; Josephus, Σαφθά , Ant. 8:12,1; Vulg. Sephata), the name of a valley (גֵּאי ) where [[Asa]] joined battle with [[Zerah]] the [[Ethiopian]] (2 Chronicles 14:10). It was "at," or rather "belonging to," [[Mareshah]] (לְמָרֵשָׁה; Josephus, οὐκ ἄπωθεν ). This would seem to exclude the possibility of its being, as suggested by Robinson (Bibl. Res.2, 31), at Teles-Safieh, which is not less than eight miles from Marash, the modern representative of Mareshah. There is a deep valley, which runs past the latter place down to, Beit Jibrin, and thence into the plain of Philistia. This, perhaps, may be the valley of [[Zephathah]] (Porter, Handbook, p. 258). Some, however, understand the name Zephathah to be only thatof Zepihath (q.v.), with ה directive, and render it "the valley towards Zephath." </p> | |||
