2401 Idoumaia {id-oo-mah'-yah}
of Hebrew origin [123]; TDNT - omitted,omitted; n pr loc
AV - Idumaea (1)
1) Edom meaning "red" was given to Esau, the first-born son of
Isaac and twin brother of Jacob, when he sold his birthright
to the latter for a meal of lentil pottage. The country which
the Lord subsequently gave to Esau was hence called "the
country of Edom" Gen. 32:3, and his descendants were called
Edomites. Edom was called Mount Seir and Idumea also. Edom was
wholly a mountainous country. It embraced the narrow
mountainous tract (about a 100 miles long and 20 miles wide)
extending along the eastern side of the Arabah from the north
end of the Gulf of Elath to near the southern end of the Dead
Sea. The ancient capital of Edom was Bozrah (Buseireh). Sela
(Petra) appears to have been the principal stronghold in the
days of Amaziah (B.C. 838) 2 Ki. 14:7. Elath and Ezion-geber
were the seaports. 2 Sam. 8:14, 1 Ki. 9:26.

AV - Jezebel (1)
1) Jezebel meaning "chaste" was the wife of Ahab, king of
Israel. (B.C. 883). She was a Phoenician princess, daughter of
Ethbaal king of the Zidonians. In her hands her husband became
a mere puppet. The first effect of her influence was the
immediate establishment of the Phoenician worship on a grand
scale in the court of Ahab. At her table, no less than 450
prophets of Baal and 400 of Astarte. The prophets of God were
attacked by her orders and put to the sword. At last the
people, at the instigation of Elijah, rose against her
ministers and slaughtered them at the foot of Mount Carmel.
When she found her husband cast down by his disappointment at
being thwarted by Naboth, she wrote a warrant in Ahab's name,
and sealed it with his seal. To her, and not to Ahab was sent
the announcement that the royal wishes were accomplished, and
on her accordingly fell the prophet's curse, as well as on her
husband; the curse fulfilled so literally by Jehu, whose
chariot-horses trampled out her life. The body was left in
that open space called in modern eastern language "the
mounds", where offal is thrown from the city walls.

2410 Hiericho {hee-er-ee-kho'}
of Hebrew origin [3405]; TDNT - omitted,omitted; n pr loc
AV - Jericho (7)
1) Jericho meaning "place of fragrance" a city of high
antiquity, situated in a plain traversed by the Jordan, and
exactly over against where that river was crossed by the
Israelites under Joshua. It is five miles west of the Jordan
and seven miles north of the Dead Sea. It had a king. Its
walls were so considerable that houses were built upon them.
The spoil that was found in it betokened its affluence.
Jericho is first mentioned as the city to which the two spies
were sent by Joshua from Shittim. It was bestowed by him upon
the tribe of Benjamin and from this time a long interval
elapses before Jericho appears on the scene. Its second
foundation under Heil the Bethelite is recorded in 1Ki. 16:34.
Once rebuilt, Jericho rose again slowly into consequence. In
its immediate vicinity the sons of the prophets sought
retirement from the world; Elisha healed the spring of the
waters; and over against it, beyond Jordan, Elijah went up by
a whirlwind to heaven. In its plains Zedekiah fell into the
hands of the Chaldeans. In the return under Zerubbabel the
"children of Jericho" numbered 345. Under Herod the Great it
again became an important place. He fortified it and built a
number of new palaces which he named after his friends. If he
did not make Jericho his habitual residence, he at last
retired thither to die, and it was in the amphitheatre of
Jericho that the news of his death was announced to the
assembled soldiers and people by Salome. Soon afterward the
palace was burnt and the town plundered by one Simon, slave to
Herod; but Archelaus rebuilt the former sumptuously, and
founded a new town on the plain, that bore his own name; and,
most important of all diverted water from a village called
Naera to irrigate the plain which he had planted with palms.
Thus Jericho was once more "city of the palms" when our Lord
visited it. The city was destroyed by Vespasian.

2411 hieron {hee-er-on'}

AV - temple (71)
1) a sacred place, temple; used of the temple of Artemis at
Ephesus and of the temple at Jerusalem. The temple of
Jerusalem consisted of the whole of the sacred enclosure,
embracing the entire aggregate of buildings, balconies,
porticos, courts (that is that of the men of Israel, that of
the women, and that of the priests), belonging to the temple;
the latter designates the sacred edifice properly so called,
consisting of two parts, the "sanctuary" or "Holy Place"
(which no one except the priests was allowed to enter), and
the "Holy of Holies" or "the most holy place" (which was
entered only on the great day of atonement by the high priest
alone). Also there were the courts where Jesus or the
apostles taught or encountered adversaries, and the like, "in
the temple"; also the courts of the temple, of the Gentiles,
out of which Jesus drove the buyers and sellers and the money
changers, court of the women.

1) Jesse meaning "wealthy" was the father of David, the son of
Obed, who was the fruit of the union of Boaz and the Moabitess
Ruth. His great- grandmother was Rahab the Canaanite, of
Jericho. His wealth seemed to consist of a flock of sheep and
goats, which were under the care of David. After David's
rupture with Saul he took his father and his mother into the
country of Moab and deposited them with the king, and there
they disappear from our view in the records of scripture.
(B.C. 1068-61) Who the wife of Jesse was we are not told.

2422 Iephthae {ee-ef-thah'-eh}
of Hebrew origin [3316]; TDNT - omitted,omitted; n pr m
AV - Jephthae (1)
1) Jephthah meaning "whom God sets free", a judge about B.C.
1143-1137. His history is contained in Judges 11:1-12:8, He
was a Gileadite, son of Gilead and a concubine. Driven by the
legitimate sons from his father's inheritance, he went to Tob
and became the head of a company of freebooters in a debatable
land probably belonging to Ammon. 2 Sam. 10:6. (This land was
east of the Jordan and southeast of Gilead, and bordered on
the desert of Arabia.) His fame as a bold and successful
captain was carried back to his native Gilead; and when the
time was ripe for throwing off the yoke of Ammon, Jephthah
consented to become the captain of the Gileadite bands, on the
condition, solemnly ratified before the Lord in Mizeh, that in
the event of his success against Ammon he should still remain
as their acknowledged head. Vowing a vow to his God, that he
would offer up as a burnt offering whatsoever should come out
to meet him if successful, he went forth to battle. The
Ammonites were routed with a great slaughter; but as the
conqueror returned to Mizpeh there came out to meet him his
daughter, his only child, with timbrels and dancing. The
father is heart-stricken; but the maiden asks only for a
respite of two months in which to prepare for death. When that
time is ended she returned to her father, who "did with her
according to his vow". The tribe of Ephraim challenged
Jephthah's right to go to war as he had done, without their
concurrence, against Ammon. He first defeated them, then
intercepted the fugitives at the fords of Jordan, and there
put forty-two thousand men to the sword. He judged Israel six
years and died. It is generally conjectured that his
jurisdiction was limited to the transjordanic region. That the
daughter of Jephthah was offered up to God in sacrifice is a
conclusion which seems impossible to avoid. (But there is no
word of approval, as if such a sacrifice was acceptable to
God. Josephus well states that "the sacrifice was neither
sanctioned by the Mosaic law nor acceptable to God." The vow
and the fulfilment were the mistaken conceptions of a rude
chieftain, not acts pleasing to God.)

2423 Iechonias {ee-ekh-on-ee'-as}
of Hebrew origin [3204]; TDNT - omitted,omitted; n pr m
AV - Jechonias (2)
1) Jechoniah or Jehoiachin meaning "whom Jehovah establishes"
was the son of Jehoiakim, and for three months and ten days
king of Judah. (B.C. 597.) At his accession Jerusalem was
quite defenceless, and unable to offer any resistance to the
army which Nebuchadnezzar sent to besiege it. 2 Ki. 24:10. In
a very short time Jehoiachin surrendered at discretion; and he
and the queen-mother, and all his servants, captains and
officers, came out and gave themselves up to Nebuchadnezzar
who carried them, with the harem and the eunuchs, to Babylon.
Jer. 29:2, Eze. 17:12, 19:9. There he remained a prisoner,
actually in prison and wearing prison garments, for thirty-six
years, viz., till the death of Nebuchadnezzar, when
Evilmerodach, succeeding to the throne of Babylon, brought him
out of prison, and made him sit at his own table. The time of
his death is uncertain.

the foot of the Taurus mountains, and on the great line of
communication between Ephesus and the western coast of the
peninsula on one side, and Tarsus, Antioch and the Euphrates
on the other. Iconium was a well chosen place for missionary
operations. Paul's first visit here was on his first circuit,
in company with Barnabas; and on this occasion he approached

2446 Iordanes {ee-or-dan'-ace}

AV - Jordan (15)
1) Jordan meaning "the descender", the one river of Palestine,
has its course of little more than 200 miles, from the roots
of Anti-Lebanon to the head of the Dead Sea. (136 miles in a
straight line) It is the river of the "great plain" of
Palestine -- the "descender" if not the "river of God" in the
book of the Psalms, at least that of his chosen people
throughout their history. There were fords over against
Jericho, to which point the men of Jericho pursued the spies.
Higher up were the fords or passages of Bethbarah, where
Gideon lay in wait for the Midianites, and where the men of
Gilead slew the Ephraimites. These fords undoubtedly witnessed
the first recorded passage of the Jordan in the Old Testament.
Gen. 32:10. Jordan was crossed, over against Jericho, by
Joshua. From their vicinity to Jerusalem the lower fords were
much used. David, it is probable, passed over them in one
instance to fight the Syrians. 2 Sam. 10:17, 17:22. Thus there
were two customary places at which the Jordan was fordable;
and it must have been at one of these, if not at both, that
baptism was afterward administered by John and by the
disciples of Jesus. Where our Lord was baptised is not stated
expressly, but it was probably at the upper ford. These fords
were rendered so much more precious in those days from two
circumstances. First, it does not appear that there were then
any bridges thrown over or boats regularly established on the
Jordan; and secondly, because "Jordan overflowed all his banks
all the time harvest." Jos 3:15. The channel or bed of the
river became brimful, so that the level of the water and of
the banks was then the same. (Dr. Salah Merrill, in his book
"Galilee in the Time of Christ" (1881), says, "Near Tarichaea,
just below the point where the Jordan leaves the lake of
Galilee, there was in Christ's time a splendid bridge across
the river, supported by ten piers.) The last feature which
remains to be noticed in the scriptural account of Jordan is
its frequent mention as a boundary: "over Jordan", or "the
other side", or "beyond Jordan" were expressions as familiar
to the Israelites as "across the water". In one sense indeed,
that is, in so far as it the eastern boundary of the land of
Canaan, it was the eastern boundary of the promised land. Nu.
34.12. The Jordan rises from several sources near Panium and
passes through the lakes of Merom and Gennesaret. The two
principal features in its course are its descent and its
windings. From its fountain heads to the Dead Sea it rushes
down on continuous inclined plane, only broken by a series of
rapids or precipitous falls. Between the Lake of Gennesaret
and the Dead Sea there are 27 rapids. The depression of the
Lake of Gennesaret below the level of the Mediterranean is 653
feet, and that of the Dead Sea 1316 feet. The whole descent
from its source to the Dead Sea is 3000 feet. Its width varies
from 45 to 180 feet, and it is from 3 to 12 feet deep. Its
sinuosity is not so remarkable in the upper part of its
course. The only tributaries to the Jordan below Gennesaret
are Yarmuk (Hieromax) and the Zerka (Jabbok). Not a single
city ever crowned the banks of the Jordan, Still Bethshan and
Jericho to the west, Gerasa, Pella and Gadara to the east of it
were important cities, and caused a good deal of traffic
between the two opposite banks.

1) Judaea meaning "he shall be praised", was the fourth son of
Jacob and the fourth of Leah. (B.C. after 1753) Of Judah's
personal character more traits are preserved than any other of
the patriarchs, with the exception of Joseph, whose life he in
conjunction with Reuben saved. During the second visit to
Egypt for corn it was Judah who undertook to be responsible
for Benjamin, and when through Joseph's artifice, the brothers
were brought back to the palace, he is again the leader and
spokesman of the band. So too it is Judah who sent before
Jacob to smooth the way for him in the land of Goshen. This
ascendency over his brethren is reflected in the last words
addressed to him by his father. The families of Judah occupy a
position among the tribes similar to that which their
progenitor had taken among the patriarchs. The numbers of the
tribe at the census at Sinai were 74,600. On the borders of the
promised land they were 76,500. The boundaries and contents of
the territory allotted to Judah are narrated at great length,
and with greater detail than the others. Jos. 15:20-63. The
northern boundary, for the most part coincident with the south
boundary of Benjamin, began at the mouth of the Jordan and
ended west at Jabneel on the coast of the Mediterranean, four
miles south of Joppa. On the east the Dead Sea, and on the
west the Mediterranean, formed the boundaries. The southern
line is hard to determine, since it is denoted by places,
many of which have not been identified. It left the Dead Sea
at its extreme south end, and joined the Mediterranean at the
Wadi el-Arish. This territory is in average length about 45
miles, and in average breadth about 50.
