Avites Deut 2:23, Avims the land of Josh 10:40, Josh 11:3, Josh 12:7-8 Mearah or, the cave Aphek This is probably the Aphek spoken of in 1Kgs 20:26. 2Kgs 13:18, as the capital of the kings of Syria; and the same as is mentioned by Sozomen, Eusebius, and Theophanes, as situated near the river Adonis (now Nahr Ibrahim), between Heliopolis and Byblos, and celebrated for the infamous temple of Venus the Aphacite. The village Afka, situated in the bottom of a valley, and hour and three quarters from Akoura, and three hours' distance from Lake Liemoun, is supposed to occupy its site. Burckhardt, however, could not hear of any remains of antiquity in it neighbourhood. Josh 19:30; 1Sam 4:1 the Amorites Judg 1:34-36 Giblites Probably the inhabitants of the country, around Gebal (Ezek 27:9), or Byblos, as the LXX render, a city of Phoenicia, situated on the Mediterranean, between Sidon and Tripoli, on the north of the river Adonis. It is now called Gibyle, of Djebail, situated about a day's journey south of Tripoli. Its walls are about a mile in circumference, with square towers about every forty yards' distance. Anciently it must have been a place of no mean extent and of considerable beauty, from the ruins still visible. 1Kgs 5:18 *marg.
