    of the tribe of Asher. It was the scene of the licentious
    worship of the Syrian Aphrodite. The ruins of the temple,
    "magnificent ruins" in a "spot of strange wildness and beauty",
    are still seen at Afka, on the north-west slopes of Lebanon,
    near the source of the river Adonis (now Nahr Ibrahim), 12 miles
    east of Gebal.

    4:1; 29:1; comp. 28:4).

      (3.) A town on the road from Damascus to Palestine, in the
    level plain east of Jordan, near which Benhadad was defeated by
    the Israelites (1 Kings 20:26, 30; 2 Kings 13:17). It has been
    identified with the modern Fik, 6 miles east of the Sea of
    Galilee, opposite Tiberias.
