1Although some suspect the city of Palms to have been Engaddi, yet most part of the expositors interpret it to be Jericho, with whom Josephus de Antiquit. Hebr. agreeth, and also Paraphrastes Caldaicus, yea and the book of Deut in the xxxiiii. chap. testifieth the same. For as much as that city had a notable grove of Palms of a hundred furlongs,2 which thing Strabo also testifieth. And yet we may not think that the Kenites reedified the city of Jericho: for it was accursed by the commandment of Joshua, who amongest other things published this (as it is to be believed) in the name of God, namely that he which should attempt to repair it, should wrap himself under the curse which came to pass in very deed: For in the time of Ahab the wicked king, one Aiel built it up again, but to his own great hurt. For his two sons Abiram & Segub perished when the city was in repairing, as it is written in the first book of kings .xvi. chap. But the country or ground thereof belonged by division unto the tribe of Benjamin. 3And these Kenites as it seemeth had pitched tents there, either for warfare, or else for keeping of sheep, in which they lived for a time either about the city or else between the decayed places of the city. And there was a regard had unto them in distributing of the land, & in assigning of fields (as Josephus also testifieth) according to the promise made unto them by Moses, which is written in the x. chap. of Num. And it is thought to be very likely that their lot was in the tribe of Judah which being not yet possessed by the children of Israel, they dwelled (as it is said) in the land with the Beniamites in the field of Jericho. This exposition seemeth full and manifest enough.
1Although some suspecte the citie of Palmes to haue bene Engaddi, yet moste part of the expositours interprete it to be Iericho, with whom Iosephus de Antiquit. Hebr. agreeth, and also Paraphrastes Caldaicus, yea and the booke of Deut in the xxxiiii. chap. testifyeth the same. For as much as that citie had a notable groue of Palmes of a hundred furlongs,2 which thing Strabo also testifyeth. And yet we may not thinke that ye Kenites reedifyed the citie of Iericho: for it was accursed by the commaundement of Iosua, who amongest other thinges published this (as it is to be beleued) in the name of God, namely that he which should attempt to repayre it, should wrappe himself vnder the curse which came to passe in very deede: For in the time of Ahab the wicked king, one Aiel builte it vp agayne, but to his own great hurt. Fo his two sonnes Abiram & Segub perished whē ye citie was in repayring, as it is written in ye first boke of kings .xvi. chap. But the countrey or ground thereof belonged by diuision vnto the tribe of Beniamin.
