<p> A Canaanite royal city, whose king was smitten by Joshua ( Joshua 11:1; Joshua 12:20; Joshua 19:25). Within Asher; perhaps the modern Chaifa, in the [[Septuagint]] Ceaph . Conder (Pal. Expl. Qy. Star., April, 1876) identifies with Yasif. The hieratic papyrus (Brit. Mus., 1842, pl. 35-61), mentioning Aksapou (identified by M. Chabas with Achshaph), is the account of an [[Egyptian]] officer's travels in a chariot from near [[Aleppo]] to the vicinity of the sea of Saltlee, and thence to [[Egypt]] via Joppa. He is called a Mohar; his record is at least 3,000 years old. ("Voyage d'un Egypt. en Syrie, en Phenic., en Palest.": F. Chabas, Paris, 1866.) </p> | |||

<p> Ach´shaph, a royal city of the [[Canaanites]] ( Joshua 11:1), has been supposed by many to be the same as Achzib, both being in the tribe of Asher. But a careful consideration of Joshua 19:25; Joshua 19:29, will make it probable that the places were different. There is more reason in the conjecture that [[Achshaph]] was another name for [[Accho]] or Acre, seeing that Accho otherwise does not occur in the list of towns in the lot of Asher, although it is certain, from Judges 1:31, that Accho was in the portion of that tribe. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||

<p> (Heb. Akshaph', אִבְשָׁ Š , fascination: Sept. Ἀχασάφ) a royal city of the Canaanites, in the northern part of [[Palestine]] ( Joshua 11:1) whose king was overthrown by Joshua ( Joshua 12:20). It was situated on the eastern boundary of the tribe of Asher, and is named between [[Beten]] and [[Alammelech]] ( Joshua 19:25). By some (see Reland, Paloest, p. 543) it has been regarded as the same as Achzib, but this is mentioned separately ( Joshua 19:29). By others (e.g. Hammesveld, 3, 237) it has been assumed to be the same as [[Accho]] or Acre, and Schwarz (Palest. p. 191) thinks it is the modern village Kefr-Yasif, five miles north-east of that town; but this region is too far west for the Biblical notices. [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] (Onomast. s.v. Ἀκσαφ ) locate it at the foot of Mount Tabor, eight miles from Diocaesarea; but they have evidently confounded it with [[Chesulloth]] (see Keil's Comment. on Joshua 11:1). Dr. Robinson is probably correct in identifying it with the ruined village Kesaf, around a large tree, two miles north-east of Kubrikah, a little south of the Litany, and nearly midway between the [[Mediterranean]] and the Upper [[Jordan]] (new ed. of Researches, 3, 55). </p> <p> Tristram identifies this town with the modern Khaifa, at the mouth of the Kishon, north of [[Carmel]] (Bible Places, p. 215); but with little probability, as Khaifa, seems to be the חו , choph (cove), or "haven" of [[Asher]] and Zebulon ( [[Genesis]] 49:13; "sea-side," Deuteronomy 1:7; "shore," Judges 5:17; Jeremiah 47:7; "coast," Joshua 9:1; Ezekiel 25:16). </p> | |||
