 * Zarthan.
   Zarthan is supposed to have been situated in the tribe of
   Manasseh, west of Jordan, near Jezreel and Bethshan or
   Scythopolis, and not far from the Jordan.  Succoth we know was
   situated east of Jordan, in the tribe of Gad, and according to
   Jerome, in the district of Scythopolis:  hence the "plain of
   Jordan," where Hiram cast the brazen vessels, must be the
   plain in which that river runs, Zarthan and Succoth being
   probably nearly opposite each other; but whether the precise
   spot of his operations was on this side or the other side, is
   uncertain.  In this place he found that particular clay that
   was proper for his purpose; and it being a considerable
   distance from Jerusalem, that city would not be annoyed by the
   smoke and noxious vapours necessarily occasioned by the
   process.
