beyond Jordan,! and ^^^^'k^^^^ Gibeon ]ii^nn of 

 Benjamin.! The presence on the list of towns belonging to 

 Jeroboam does not prove that the Egyptian armies had 

 penetrated mto Gahlee or passed the Jordan. The king of 

 Israel, in imploring the aid of Sheshonq against his rival, 

 had thereby made himself vassal to Egypt; this Avould 

 suffice to make his towns figure at Karnak among the cities 

 subjected in the course of the campaign. 



To determine the site of the places which occur beyond 

 Gabaon, I have used the process which has already availed 

 me with regard to the fists of Thoutmos III: I have divided 

 the hst in sections, each comprised between two towns 

 already known, and whose position in the land has been indi- 

 cated, if not surely at least probably, by recent explorers. 

 From Gabaon to the vacant place of No. 30, the Egyptian 

 scribe has followed the line of places or fortified posts which 

 covered the northera frontier of the kingdom of Judah.

 has i)roi)osed Makkedah, which I have accepted (Zeilsc/irift, 1880, p. 45).
