Encamp       An encampment was the resting-place for a longer or shorter       period of an army or company of travellers (Ex. 13:20; 14:19;       Josh. 10:5; 11:5).                The manner in which the Israelites encamped during their march       through the wilderness is described in Num. 2 and 3. The order       of the encampment (see {CAMP}) was preserved in the       march (Num. 2:17), the signal for which was the blast of two       silver trumpets. Detailed regulations affecting the camp for       sanitary purposes are given (Lev. 4:11, 12; 6:11; 8:17; 10:4, 5;       13:46; 14:3; Num. 12:14, 15; 31:19; Deut. 23:10, 12).                Criminals were executed without the camp (Lev. 4:12; comp.       John 19:17, 20), and there also the young bullock for a       sin-offering was burnt (Lev. 24:14; comp. Heb. 13:12).                In the subsequent history of Israel frequent mention is made       of their encampments in the time of war (Judg. 7:18; 1 Sam.       13:2, 3, 16, 23; 17:3; 29:1; 30:9, 24). The temple was sometimes       called "the camp of the Lord" (2 Chr. 31:2, R.V.; comp. Ps.       78:28). The multitudes who flocked to David are styled "a great       host (i.e., "camp;" Heb. mahaneh), like the host of God" (1 Chr.       12:22).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Enchantments       (1.) The rendering of Hebrew _latim_ or _lehatim_, which means       "something covered," "muffled up;" secret arts, tricks (Ex.       7:11, 22; 8:7, 18), by which the Egyptian magicians imposed on       the credulity of Pharaoh.                (2.) The rendering of the Hebrew _keshaphim_, "muttered       spells" or "incantations," rendered "sorceries" in Isa. 47:9,       12, i.e., the using of certain formulae under the belief that       men could thus be bound.                (3.) Hebrew _lehashim_, "charming," as of serpents (Jer. 8:17;       comp. Ps. 58:5).                (4.) Hebrew _nehashim_, the enchantments or omens used by       Balaam (Num. 24:1); his endeavouring to gain omens favourable to       his design.                (5.) Hebrew _heber_ (Isa. 47:9, 12), "magical spells." All       kinds of enchantments were condemned by the Mosaic law (Lev.       19:26; Deut. 18:10-12). (See {DIVINATION}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
En-gannim       fountain of gardens. (1.) A town in the plains of Judah (Josh.       15:34), north-west of Jerusalem, between Zanoah and Tappuah. It       is the modern Umm Jina.                (2.) A city on the border of Machar (Josh. 19:21), allotted to       the Gershonite Levites (21:29). It is identified with the modern       Jenin, a large and prosperous town of about 4,000 inhabitants,       situated 15 miles south of Mount Tabor, through which the road       from Jezreel to Samaria and Jerusalem passes. When Ahaziah, king       of Judah, attempted to escape from Jehu, he "fled by the way of       the garden house" i.e., by way of En-gannim. Here he was       overtaken by Jehu and wounded in his chariot, and turned aside       and fled to Megiddo, a distance of about 20 miles, to die there.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Engines       (1.) Heb. hishalon i.e., "invention" (as in Eccl. 7:29)       contrivances indicating ingenuity. In 2 Chr. 26:15 it refers to       inventions for the purpose of propelling missiles from the walls       of a town, such as stones (the Roman balista) and arrows (the       catapulta).                (2.) Heb. mechi kobollo, i.e., the beating of that which is in       front a battering-ram (Ezek. 26:9), the use of which was common       among the Egyptians and the Assyrians. Such an engine is       mentioned in the reign of David (2 Sam. 20:15).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
En-shemesh       fountain of the sun a spring which formed one of the landmarks       on the boundary between Judah and Benjamin (Josh. 15:7; 18:17).       It was between the "ascent of Adummim" and the spring of       En-rogel, and hence was on the east of Jerusalem and of the       Mount of Olives. It is the modern 'Ain-Haud i.e., the "well of       the apostles" about a mile east of Bethany, the only spring on       the road to Jericho. The sun shines on it the whole day long.
