HAMATH-ZOBAH (or ‘Hamath of Zobah’). A city in the neighbourhood of Tadmor, conquered by Solomon (2Ch_8:3). Some have conjectured that it is identical with Hamath (wh. see), and that Zobah is used here in a broader sense than usual. On the other hand, it may be another Hamath situated in the territory of Zobah proper.

Conquered by Solomon (2Ch_8:3). Distinguished from "Hamath the great."

By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


hā?math-zō?ba (חמת צובה, ḥămath cōbhāh; Βαισωβά, Baisōbá) : Mentioned only in 2Ch_8:3. Apart from Great Hamath no site answering to this name is known. It does not seem to be implied that Solomon took possession of Hamath itself, but rather that he ?confirmed? his dominion over parts of the kingdom of Zobah, which on its fall may have been annexed by Hamath. The Septuagint's Codex Vaticanus suggests a reading - Bethzobah - omitting all reference to Hamath. On the other hand, the geographical distinctions between Zobah and Hamath having passed away long before Chronicles was written, the double name may have been used to indicate generally the extent of Solomon's conquests, as also to avoid confusion with the Zobah in the Hauran (2Sa_23:36).

Hamath-Zobah
(Heb. Chamath' Tsobah'צוֹבָה חֲמִת, i.e. Hamath of Zobah; Sept. Αἰμὰθ Σωβά v. r. Βαισωβά, Vulg. Emath Suba), a place on the borders of Palestine, said to have been attacked and conquered by Solomon (2Ch_8:3). It has been conjectured to be the same as HAMATH SEE HAMATH (q.v.), here regarded as included in Aram-Zobah-a geographical expression which is a usually a narrower meaning. The conjunction of the two names here probably indicates nothing more than that the whole country round Hamath was brought by Solomon under the power of Judah. The possessions of David extended to Hamath, and included Zobah (1Ch_18:3), and Solomon probably added Hamath also to his empire; certain it is that he had possessions in that district, and that part of it, at least, was included in his dominion (1Ki_9:19). SEE ZOBAH.
