For this site Tristram (Bible Places, page 242) and Conder (Tent Work, 2:337) propose ed-Dalieh, on Carmel, eight and a half miles south-east of Haifa, and. thus described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (2:281): "A stone village of moderate size, on a knoll of one of the spurs running out of the main water-shed (or ridge) of Carmel. On the south there is a well, and a few springs on the west. On the north is a little plain, or open valley, cultivated with corn. The inhabitants are all Druses, numbered by consul Rogers in 1859 at 300 souls." But this position is entirely beyond the bounds of Zebulon, and the modern name Dalieh is too indefinite for identification, being likewise applied to another village on the ridge of Carmel, six and a half miles farther south-east. The site Kefr Kireh (proposed by Schwarz) lying one and a quarter miles south by west from Tell Keimnn (Joknean), is described in the Memoirs (2:60) as "evidently an ancient site," with traces of ruins and broken pottery on the hill and tombs in the vicinity; a good supply of water, and a small mill. The village of Jeida is an entirely different locality, two and a half miles west of Semunieh, and destitute of antiquities (Memoirs, 1:270).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
