 * rock of Rimmon.
   The rock Rimmon was doubtless a strong place; but it is
   uncertain where situated.  It is probable however, that it was
   near, and took its name from, the village of Remmon, mentioned
   by Eusebius, fifteen miles north from Jerusalem.  It appears
   that rocks are still resorted to in the East, as places of
   security; and some of them are even capable of sustaining a
   siege.  De La Roque says, that "The Grand Seignior, wishing to
   seize the person of the emir (Fakr-eddin, prince of the
   Druses,) gave orders to the pacha to take him prisoner:  he
   accordingly came in search of him, with a new army, in the
   district of Chouf, which is part of mount Lebanon, wherein is
   the village of Gesin, and close to it, the rock which served
   for a retreat to the emir.  It is named in Arabic, Magara
   Gesin, i.e., the cavern of Gessin, by which name it is famous.
   The pacha pressed the emir so closely, that this unfortunate
   prince was obliged to shut himself up in the cleft of a great
   rock, with a small number of his officers.  The pacha besieged
   him there several months; and was going to blow up the rock by
   a mine, when the emir capitulated."
