From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Caphtor
      a chaplet, the original seat of the Philistines (Deut. 2:23;
      Jer. 47:4; Amos 9:7). The name is found written in hieroglyphics
      in the temple of Kom Ombos in Upper Egypt. But the exact
      situation of Caphtor is unknown, though it is supposed to be
      Crete, since the Philistines seem to be meant by the
      "Cherethites" in 1 Sam. 30:14 (see also 2 Sam. 8:18). It may,
      however, have been a part of Egypt, the Caphtur in the north
      Delta, since the Caphtorim were of the same race as the Mizraite
      people (Gen. 10:14; 1 Chr. 1:12).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chapiter
      the ornamental head or capital of a pillar. Three Hebrew words
      are so rendered. (1.) _Cothereth_ (1 Kings 7:16; 2 Kings 25:17;
      2 Chr. 4:12), meaning a "diadem" or "crown." (2.) _Tzepheth_ (2
      Chr. 3:15). (3.) _Rosh_ (Ex. 36:38; 38:17, 19, 28), properly a
      "head" or "top."
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Chapter
      The several books of the Old and New Testaments were from an
      early time divided into chapters. The Pentateuch was divided by
      the ancient Hebrews into 54 _parshioth_ or sections, one of
      which was read in the synagogue every Sabbath day (Acts. 13:15).
      These sections were afterwards divided into 669 _sidrim_ or
      orders of unequal length. The Prophets were divided in somewhat
      the same manner into _haphtaroth_ or passages.
     
         In the early Latin and Greek versions of the Bible, similar
      divisions of the several books were made. The New Testament
      books were also divided into portions of various lengths under
      different names, such as titles and heads or chapters.
     
         In modern times this ancient example was imitated, and many
      attempts of the kind were made before the existing division into
      chapters was fixed. The Latin Bible published by Cardinal Hugo
      of St. Cher in A.D. 1240 is generally regarded as the first
      Bible that was divided into our present chapters, although it
      appears that some of the chapters were fixed as early as A.D.
      1059. This division into chapters came gradually to be adopted
      in the published editions of the Hebrew, with some few
      variations, and of the Greek Scriptures, and hence of other
      versions.
