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. 2Ch 11:6 2Ch 20:20 Ne 3:5 Ne 3:27 Jer 6:1 Am 1:1
