The Empires of the Bible from the Confusion of Tongues to the Babylonian Captivity

No. V

“And now as to the city of Jerusalem, if this country remains to the king, why is it that the city of Gaza is fixed on for the government of the king? Behold: the country of the city of Gath-Carmel, to Tagi and the men of the city of Gath has fallen away. He is in Bit-Sani, and we have effected that Lab’ai and his country should give ... to the men of the district of the Confederates. Malchiel has sent to Tagi and takes his sons hostages. He has granted all their requests to the men of Keilah, and we have delivered the city of Jerusalem. The guard whom thou hast left in it, Khapi, the son of Miyariya, has assembled. Addalim has remained in his house in the city of Gaza.” EB 114.9
