     * The cities.
     # 15:20; 2Ch 16:4|
     * So he made a covenant.
       One of the conditions of this covenant, we learn, was, that
       Ahab should have "streets (chutzoth) in Damascus;" a proposal
       better relished by Ahab then understood by the generality of
       commentators.  This, however, is well illustrated by Mr.
       Harmer, from William of Tyre, the great historian of the
       Crusades; from whom it appears that it was customary to give
       those nations which were engaged in them, churches, streets,
       and great jurisdiction therein, in those places which they
       assisted to conquer.  The Genoese and Venetians had each a
       street in Acon, or Acre, in which they had their own
       jurisdiction, with liberty to have an oven, mill, baths,
       weights, and measures, etc.
