== Holman [[Bible]] [[Dictionary]] == Joshua 19:5 == Hitchcock's Bible [[Names]] == == Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible == <p> <strong> BETH-MARCABOTH </strong> (‘place of chariots’ Joshua 19:5 , 1 Chronicles 4:31 ). A city of [[Simeon]] in the southern plains, near Ziklag, deserted in David’s time; site unknown. </p> == Smith's Bible Dictionary == <p> Beth-mar'caboth. (house of the chariots). One of the towns of Simeon, situated to the extreme south of Judah. Joshua 19:5; 1 Chronicles 4:31. In the parallel list, Joshua 15:31, [[Madmannah]] occurs in place of Beth-marcaboth. </p> == [[International]] Standard Bible [[Encyclopedia]] == <p> '''''beth''''' -'''''mar´ka''''' -'''''both''''' ( בּית המּרכּבת , <i> '''''bēth ha''''' </i> - <i> '''''markābhōth''''' </i> ; Βαιθμαχερέβ , <i> '''''Baithmacheréb''''' </i> , "the house of chariots"): [[Mentioned]] along with Hazar-susah, "the station of horses" (Joshua 19:5; 1 Chronicles 4:31 ) as cities in the [[Negeb]] near Ziklag. It is tempting to connect these stations with "the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen" which [[Solomon]] built (1 Kings 9:19; compare 1 Kings 10:26 ). The site of Beth-marcaboth has not been identified, but Guérin ( <i> [[La]] Terre Sainte. [[Jerusalem]] et le Nord de la Judée </i> , II, 230) suggests <i> '''''Khan Yunas''''' </i> , Southwest of Gaza, as a suitable chariot city. </p> == [[Cyclopedia]] of Biblical, [[Theological]] and [[Ecclesiastical]] Literature == <p> (Heb. Eeyth Markaboth', מִרְכָּבוֹת בֵּית, house of chariots, in Chron.; Sept. Βαιθμαρχαβώθ v. r. Βαιθμαριμώθ; or with the art. in Josh., Beth- ham-markaboth', בֵּיתאּהמִּרְכָּבֹת, house of the chariots; Sept. Βηθαμερχαβώθ v. r. Βαιθμαχερέβ, and Βαιθαμμαρχασβώθ ), one of the towns of Simeon, situated to the extreme south of Judah, with [[Ziklag]] and [[Hormah]] (Joshua 19:5; 1 Chronicles 4:31). What "chariots" can have been in use in this rough and thinly-inhabited part of the country, at a time so early as that at which these lists of towns purport to have been made out, we know not. At a later period — that of Solomon — "chariot cities" are named, and a regular trade with [[Egypt]] in chariots was carried on (1 Kings 9:19; 2 Chronicles 8:6; 1 Kings 10:29; 2 Chronicles 1:17), which would naturally require depots or stopping-places on the road "up" to [[Palestine]] (Stanley, p. 160). In the parallel list, Joshua 15:30-31, MADMANNAH (See [[Madmannah]]) (q.v.) occurs in place of Beth- marcaboth; possibly the latter was substituted for the former after the town had become the resort of chariots. (See [[Hazar-Susah]]). </p>
