Dictionary entry
a city supposed to be situated near Hazor, in
the northern parts of Canaan, called afterward Upper Galilee, or Galilee
of the Gentiles, for the same reason that this place probably obtained
that title, namely, from being less inhabited by Jews, and being near
the great resorts of the Gentiles, Tyre and Sidon. This is said to have
been the residence of Sisera, the general of the armies of Jabin, king
of Canaan, who reigned at Hazor.
