ZARTHAN - Z>@ - A place in the circle of Jordan, mentioned in connection with Succoth. (Kings:7:46) It is also named in the account of the passage of the Jordan by the Israelites, kjv@Joshua:3:18) where the authorized Version has Zaretan. A place with the similar name of Zartanah. (Kings:4:12) Further, Zeredathah, named in ( kjv@2Chronicles:4:17) only in specifying the situation of the foundries for the brass-work of Solomon’s temple, is substituted for Zarthan; and this again is not impossibly identical with the Zererath of the story of Gideon. kjv@Judges:7:22) All these spots agree in proximity to the Jordan, but beyond this we are absolutely at fault as to their position.
