1 Kings 4:16
Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:
Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher,.... In the tribe of Asher; a very plentiful tribe, particularly for oil; this officer was perhaps the son of Hushai, the Archite, David's friend, and, it may be, promoted for his sake:
and in Aloth; which signifies ascensions, mountains went upon by steps; near to this place was an high mountain, called the ladder of Tyre {t}; perhaps that and the parts adjacent may be meant here.
