Judges 11:24
Wilt not thou possess.This is simply an {argumentum ad hominem;} in which Jephthah argues on this principles recognized by the king of Ammon. As if he had said, "You suppose that the land which you possess was given you by your god Chemosh; and therefore will not relinquish what you believe you hold by a divine right. Now we know that Jehovah, our God, has given us the land of the Israelites; and therefore we will not give it up." Chemosh.Nu 21:29; 1Ki 11:7; Jer 48:7,46whomsoever.De 9:4,5; 18:12; Jos 3:10; Ps 44:2; 78:55; Mic 4:51 Samuel 5:10

the gods.36:20; 46:5-7Gozan.2Ki 17:6; 18:11; 19:12Haran.Haran, the Carrhæ of the Greeks and Romans, is situated in the north-west part of Mesopotamia, between the Euphrates and the river Chebar; about 110 miles west of Nisibis, 90 east of Bir, 100 south of Diarbekir, and 170 north of Palmyra. Ge 11:31; 12:14; 28:10; 29:4; Ac 7:2Eden.It is probable that this Eden is the country near Diarbekir, on the Tigris, called Mâdon, according to Asseman. Ge 2:8; Eze 27:23; 28:13; Am 1:5Telassar.Telassar is probably the same as Ellasar, Ge 14:1, as the Jerusalem Targum reads; for both of which the Syriac has Dolassar; and perhaps, as Doederlein supposes, the same as Sharra, a city of Mesopotamia, half a mile from the Euphrates. 2Ki 19:12Thelasar.Isaiah 37:19
