Hamath - Emesa or Amesa, in Syria. - Calmet.
Berothah - Berytus, now Baruth or Beeroth, which David took from Hadarezer, king of Syria, 2 Samuel 8:8; but these things are very uncertain.
Sibraim - Sabarim or Sepharvaim, according to the Syriac, between Hamath and Damascus.
Hazar-hatticon - The middle Hazar; or middle village, as the margin.
Hauran - The city Aurana, and the district Auranitis, are in the north-east limit of the Holy Land.
“Berothah,” probably the same as “Berothai” (marginal reference), lay between Hamath and Damascus, as did “Sibraim.”
“Hazar-hatticon” is probably, as in the margin, “the middle Hazar,” to distinguish it from Hazar-enan Ezekiel 47:17.
