In the Massoretic text Dor does not appear. None of the ver- 

 sions except the Greek seem to have it*. The textual evidence for 

 the genuineness of the citation of Dor in this place is, therefore, very- 

 poor. In all probability the name is an insertion into the Greek 

 based on the passage in Josh. 17:11, where Dor is mentioned 

 among the enclaves of Manasseh in Issachar and Asher". Both 

 Moore and Budde comment on the absence in the Hebrew of Tyre, 

 which lies between Accho and Sidon; this is the very position 

 occupied by Dor in the passage. It is, of course, barely possible 

 that there was present in the original Hebrew the name *1lV; but 

 of this we have no proof. In view of the faulty character of the 

 Greek text of Judges and of the evidence of free redaction in it, 

 we must consider it probable that the inclusion of Dor in the Greek 

 of 1 : 31 is the word of an editor's hand. In any case it adds 

 nothing to the information contained in the passages already 

 discussed. 



1 KINGS 4: 11. 



1 Kings 4: 7-19 contains a list of twelve victualling officers of 

 Solomon, placed over "all Israel." Fourth in this list appears 

 (verse 11) the name of Ben-Abinadab, in charge of "all Naphath 

 Dor:" 



r • : t:t : - -t -tt tt*-:Iv 



Translation: " Ben-Abinadab, all the Height of Dor; (Taphath, 

 the daughter of Solomon, was his wife.)" 

 The Greek reads (A)': 



1 Walton's Polyglot. 



5 The verse Josh. 17:11 is based, as indicated above, on Judg. 1:27, which 

 also names Dor and precedes the passage now under discussion by only 

 three verses. Probably these verses are all connected with one another, at 

 least in the mind of the Greek translator. 



3 The text of B in this verse is hopelessly confused and corrupt; it is 

 another illustration to prove how poor is the document Swete chose as his 

 basic text.
