赫人加低斯 - 塔提姆荷得施
描述
奥伦特斯河畔的加低斯
奥伦特斯(在《撒母耳记下》[2Sam 24:6]的马所拉文本中,以错误的形式tachtim chodhshi出现,应根据《七十士译本》(Luc.)的读法纠正为:eis ten genitive Chettieim Kades,“到赫人之地的加低斯”,改为'erets ha-chittim qadheshah。埃瓦尔德等人将以色列的北部理想边界定在约旦河源头,建议将“chodhshi”读作“赫尔蒙”,但特尼乌斯和希齐格关于北部加低斯的推测已被给出的读法完全证实):加低斯是赫人的南部首都,位于奥伦特斯河上游,距离大马士革以北80英里。现在它由一个大土丘代表,位于中世纪之前被称为卡德斯湖的地方以南5英里,但现在称为霍姆斯湖。埃及的图特摩斯三世(约公元前1650年)在米吉多战役后,在此地会见并接收了亚述人的人质,而在此地,拉美西斯二世击败了赫人王哈特萨尔(约公元前1320年),并与他签订了一项条约,该条约正式刻在一块银盘上。战役的事件被描绘在拉美西姆的墙壁上,一部埃及史诗记录了拉美西斯的英雄事迹。在希罗多德(Herodotus ii.159)的记载中,它以Kadytis之名被提及,被法老尼哥(Pharaoh-necoh)于公元前609年攻占。在唯一的圣经参考中(《撒母耳记下》[2Sam 24:6]),它被命名为大卫所作人口普查的北部界限。

Kadesh (2)
the sacred city of the Hittites, on the left bank of the Orontes, about 4 miles south of the Lake of Homs. It is identified with the great mound Tell Neby Mendeh, some 50 to 100 feet high, and 400 yards long. On the ruins of the temple of Karnak, in Egypt, has been found an inscription recording the capture of this city by Rameses II. (See PHARAOH) Here the sculptor "has chiselled in deep work on the stone, with a bold execution of the several parts, the procession of the warriors, the battle before Kadesh, the storming of the fortress, the overthrow of the enemy, and the camp life of the Egyptians." (See HITTITES)
