Joshua 19:5
And Ziklag, and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah,
And Ziklag,.... Another of the cities of Judah,
See Gill on "Joshua 15:31";
and Bethmarcaboth, and Hazarsusah; or Hazarsusim, as in 1 Chronicles 4:31; the one signifies a chariot house, and the other a court or stable for horses, which made Bochart conjecture {a}, that they were places where Solomon kept his chariots and horses; but it should be observed that these were the names by which these places went in the times of the old Canaanites; and seem to me rather where some of their kings had their horses and chariots; or rather where there were temples dedicated to the horses and chariots of the sun; see 2 Kings 23:11.
{a} Hierozoic. l. 2. c. 9. col. 158.
