Pharathon

VIEW:36 DATA:01-04-2020
PHARATHON.—Named, with Timnath and Tephon, among the cities which Bacchides ‘strengthened with high walls, with gates and with bars’ (1Ma_9:60). Some authorities read with LXX [Note: Septuagint.] ‘Timnath-pharathon,’ as indicating one place. Conder suggests Fer‘on, about 15 miles W. of Nâhlus. This seems to be too far to the north, as the towns mentioned are all ‘in Jud¿a.’ It may possibly be Fer‘ata, 6 miles S.W. of Nâblus, although the same difficulty exists in a modified degree. Cf. Pirathon.

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


far?a-thon (Φαραθών, Pharathṓn): One of the strong cities of Judea fortified by Bacchides during the Maccabean war (1 Macc 9:50). Septuagint reads ?Thamnatha-pharathon? as the name of one city. Josephus, however (Ant., XIII, i, 3), and Syriac supply the ?and? between them. The name represents a Hebrew pir‛āthōn. If it is to be taken strictly as in Judean territory, it cannot be identified with PIRATHON (which see) of Jdg_12:15. In that case we should probably seek for it with Dr. G.A. Smith in some fortress covering the top of Wâdy Far‛ah.
