HAMATH - H>@ - (fortress), the principal city of upper Syria, was situated in the valley of the Orontes, which it commanded from the low screen of hills which forms the water-shed between the source of the Orontes and Antioch. The Hamathites were a Hamitic race, and are included among the descendants of Canaan. kjv@Genesis:10:18) Nothing appears of the power of Hamath until the time of David. (2 Samuel kjv@8:9) Hamath seems clearly to have been included in the dominions of Solomon. (Kings:4:21-24) The "store-cities" which Solomon "built in Hamath," ( kjv@2Chronicles:8:4) were perhaps staples for trade. In the Assyrian inscriptions of the time of Ahab (B.C. 900) Hamath appears as a separate power, in alliance with the Syrians of Damascus, the Hittites and the Phoenicians. About three-quarters of a century later Jeroboam the Second "recovered Hamath." ( kjv@2Kings:14:28) Soon afterwards the Assyrians took it, ( kjv@2Kings:18:34 kjv@2Kings:19:13) etc., and from this time it ceased to be a place of much importance. Antiochus Epiphanes changed its name to Epiphaneia. The natives, however, called it Hamath even in St. Jerome’s time, and its present name, Hamah , is but slightly altered from the ancient form.

HAMATHZOBAH - H>@ - (fortress of Zobah), ( kjv@2Chronicles:8:3) has been conjectured to be the same as Hamath. But the name Hamath
- Zobah would seem rather suited to another Hamath which was distinguished from the "Great Hamath" by the suffix "Zobah."

HAMATHITE, THE - H>@ - one of the families descended from Canaan, named last in the list. kjv@Genesis:10:18; kjv@1Chronicles:1:16)

Hamath @ fortress, the capital of one of the kingdoms of Upper Syria of the same name, on the Orontes, in the valley of Lebanon, at the northern boundary of Palestine kjv@Numbers:13:21 kjv@Numbers:34:8), at the foot of Hermon kjv@Joshua:13:5) towards Damascus kjv@Zechariah:9:2; kjv@Jeremiah:49:23). It is called "Hamath the great" in kjv@Amos:6:2, and "Hamath-zobah" in kjv@2Chronicals:8:3. Hamath, now Hamah, had an Aramaean population, but Hittite monuments discovered there show that it must have been at one time occupied by the Hittites. It was among the conquests of the Pharaoh Thothmes III. Its king, Tou or Toi, made alliance with David ( kjv@2Samuel:8:10), and in B.C. 740 Azariah formed a league with it against Assyria. It was, however, conquered by the Assyrians, and its nineteen districts placed under Assyrian governors. In B.C. 720 it revolted under a certain Yahu-bihdi, whose name, compounded with that of the God of Israel (Yahu), perhaps shows that he was of Jewish origin. But the revolt was suppressed, and the people of Hamath were transported to Samaria ( kjv@2Kings:17:24 kjv@2Kings:17:30), where they continued to worship their god Ashima. Hamah is beautifully situated on the Orontes, 32 miles north of Emesa, and 36 south of the ruins of Assamea. The kingdom of Hamath comprehended the great plain lying on both banks of the Orontes from the fountain near Riblah to Assamea on the north, and from Lebanon on the west to the desert on the east. The "entrance of Hamath" kjv@Numbers:34:8), which was the north boundary of Palestine, led from the west between the north end of Lebanon and the Nusairiyeh mountains.

Hamath-zobah @ fortress of Zobah, ( kjv@2Chronicals:8:3) is supposed by some to be a different place from the foregoing; but this is quite uncertain.
