Kabbon.A city in the
Shephelah

Lachish
(Josh.15:40). Some scholars have associated Cabbon with
Macbenah
(Caleb’s descendant according to1 Chr. 2:49, but usually taken as a reference to atown) on the assumption that the two names arefrom the same Hebrew root (cf. BDB, 460).

Acco
(Acre), but Z. Gal (in
ZDPV 
101 [1985]: 114 – 27, esp. 125) argues for nearby Khirbet Ras ez-Zetun (Rosh Zayith). Cabul is notto be identified with Kabura (

comprising twenty towns(presumably including the town of Cabul; see #1above) that
Solomon

? (Cf. Y. Aharoni,

, rev. ed.[1979], 307 – 9.) The reason for Hiram’s reaction isalso unclear (he may have returned the cities; cf. 2Chr. 8:2).

zuhr (

G2790 
). Cognomen of the Julian family, whose most eminent member wasCaius Julius Caesar, the great soldier, statesman,orator, and author (102 – 44 B.C.). Julius Caesar was the last of a series of commanders who, for afull century of constitutional crises and civil strife,had used the power of the army to impose politicalsolutions for
Rome
’s recurrent breakdowns of law and order, a pernicious practice that was ultimately to destroy the Roman state.Although he was assassinated in 44 B.C., Cae-sar’s heritage was passed to Octavianus, his adoptiveheir, who by legal process became Caius Octavi-anus Caesar, later termed
Augustus
.
Caesar 
thusbecame the dynastic name of all the emperors down

Hadrian
(A.D. 117 – 138), and subsequently of the heir-presumptive.

It was better to begin on neutral, unencum-bered ground, in spite of the vast expense entailedin providing the open roadstead of Caesarea witheffective harbor works. The building of these was afine feat of engineering. A breakwater 200 ft. wide was built against the southern gales. The water ranto 20 fathoms; this depth was filled with enormous
