Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The AV (KJV) has “the Great [stone of]
Abel
” (
1 Sam. 6:18
18
And the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five lords, both of fenced cities, and of country villages, even unto the great stone of Abel, whereon they set down the ark of the Lord: which stone remaineth unto this day in the field of Joshua, the Beth-shemite. (1 Samuel 6:18)
). Delitzsch believes that this is not a proper name and that Abel is a mistake for eben, “a stone,” the final m being
put
instead of l: and if so it would be simply “the great stone,” which is also mentioned in verses 14 and 15. This is the rendering adopted by the LXX (Septuagint) and the
Targum
.
