CCEL

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Soba, divided from cutting, not from following" (105).

882. Sarthan. I Kings 4:12; K. 160:18; L. 285:92.

Simple biblical notation.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Sarthan, their tribulation or demolition or limitation " (112).

883. Sōpheira (Soupheir). I Kings 9:28 and I Kings 10:11; K. 160:19; L. 285:93.

Textual variant Sophira (Latin). This variant name is a LXX error.

Out of the Holy Land proper (cf. K. 150:14 and K. 176:13).

884. Serōra. I Kings 11:26; K. 160:21; L. 285:95.

Textual variant Serora (Latin).

Simple biblical notation.

885. Saba. I Kings 10:1; K. 160:22; L. 285:96.

This entry is out of the Limits of the Holy Land and out of order as well, so is quite suspect. In Josephus Antiquities II, 10, 2 we have "Saba, the capital of the Ethiopian realm which Cambyses later called Meroe after the name of his sister."

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Saba, captured" (112).

886. Sela. II Kings 12:21; K. 160:25; L. 285:99.

Simple biblical notation.

LXX has Gaalad or Gaalla for the MT "to Silla."

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Sela, always" (117).

887. Sephpharouem (Saffaruaim). II Kings 17:24; K. 160:26; L. 285:00.

Simple biblical notation (Isaiah 36:19).

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Safaruahim, books or letters" (118).

888. Sademoth. II Kings 23:4; K. 160:28; L. 286:03.

Simple biblical notation.

In Interpretation of Hebrew Names "Sademoth, ploughed land or region" (118).

889. Sarepta. I Kings 17:9; K. 162:1; L. 286:04.

This item is perhaps out of order.
