| Joshua 11:8
| And the Lord delivered them into the hands of Israel. And they defeated them, and chased them as far as the great Sidon, and the waters of Maserephoth, and the field of Masphe, which is on the east side thereof. He slew them all, so as to leave no remains of them:
| Thereof. Josue divided his forces, and sent some to pursue the fugitives to Sidon and Sarepta, and others he dispatched to the east side of the Jordan. --- Sihon was famous for its commerce, and for its glass works. (Pliny, [Natural History?] 5:19.)
