* The cities.
  15:20  2Ch 16:4 
 * So he made a covenant.
   One of the conditions of this covenant, we learn, was, that
   Ahab should have "streets (chutzoth) in Damascus;" a proposal
   better relished by Ahab then understood by the generality of
   commentators.  This, however, is well illustrated by Mr.
   Harmer, from William of Tyre, the great historian of the
   Crusades; from whom it appears that it was customary to give
   those nations which were engaged in them, churches, streets,
   and great jurisdiction therein, in those places which they
   assisted to conquer.  The Genoese and Venetians had each a
   street in Acon, or Acre, in which they had their own
   jurisdiction, with liberty to have an oven, mill, baths,
   weights, and measures, etc.
