| I Maccabees 5:46 | And they came as far as Ephron: now this was a great city, situate in the way, strongly fortified, and there was no means to turn from it on the right hand or on the left, but the way was through the midst of it. | Ephron, beyond the Jordan [River]. The situation is unknown. With regard to the right which Judas had to treat it with such severity, see Numbers 20:18., and Judges 8:5. (Calmet) --- It probably belonged to God's people, and was unjustly detained. (Haydock) |
