Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - Beyond the sea on this aide Aram (Syria); i.e. south-east of the Salt Sea, and something west of Edom (the right reading in place of Aram, where a resh had turned out a daleth), Hazon-tamar... Engedi; i.e. the place Engedi (Ain-jiddy), a living "spring of water" from a lime-cliff, half-way up the west coast of the Salt Sea, "in the midst of palms" (interpalmas), the compound word "Hazazon-tamar" meaning literally, "the division of the palm."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Then there came some that told.--And they (i.e., messengers; Vulg., "nuntii") came and told.Cometh.--Is come.The Sea.--The Dead Sea, east of which lay the territories of Ammon and Moab; while to the south of it, not far from Petra, was Maon.On this side Syria.--Heb., from Aram; and so LXX. and Vulg. But Edom is probably the true reading--a name often confused with Aram. As the invaders marched round the southern end of the Dead Sea, they were naturally described as coming from Edom. The Syr. and Arab. have: from the other side of the Red Sea.Hazazon-tamar.--See Genesis 14:7.Engedi (Ain-jidy), midway on the western coast of the Dead Sea (see 1Samuel 23:29), about thirty-six miles from Jerusalem. The Syr. and Arab, have Jericho for Hazazon-tamar (? meadow of palms). Jericho was also called "city of palms."
