Joshua 19:50

Jos 19:50 According to the word of the LORD they gave him the city which he asked, [even] Timnathserah in mount Ephraim: and he built the city, and dwelt therein.

Ver. 50. Even Timnathserah. ] Called also Timnathheres in Judges 2:9 ; that is, the figure of the sun, because, belike, there the sun had been worshipped: another Heliopolis.

And he built the city. ] An old ruinous city, but by him repaired and beautified, that there he might spend and end his days.

“ Regum aequabat opes animis. ”

And well he might have engraven over his gates that distich of Ennius concerning Scipio -

“ Si fas (caedendo / cedendo) caelestia scandere cuiquam,

Mi soli caeli maxima porta pater."
