is conjecturally located by Tristram (Bible Places, page 226), at Tibneh, a little west of Jebel Ajlun, the northerly crest of Gilead. "It is the most conspicuous site in the district, a fine natural fortress on an isolated round mamelon-shaped hill, rising above the wide plateau, and commanding a magnificent view of western Palestine." Merrill argues at length (East of the Jordan, page 365 sq.) for its identity with Kulat er-Rubad, a few miles south of the Ramah of above spot.
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
