* to Tekoah.
Tekoah was a city of Judah, situated, according to Eusebius
and Jerome, twelve miles south of Jerusalem. Josephus says it
was not far from the castle of Herodium; and Jerome (Prologue
to Amos) says it stood on a hill six miles south from
Bethlehem. Dr. Poccocke places it at the same distance; and
says there are still considerable ruins on the top of a hill,
which is about half a mile long and a furlong broad.
