As a representative of this Conder suggests (Tent Work, 2:337) El-Kiam, four and a half miles north-east from Mimas (at the great angle of the Litany); but this is an entirely modern village of about three hundred Christians and two hundred Druses (Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey, 1:88), and the name has little resemblance.

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
