Zarthan

(cooling). (1) A town in the Jordan valley. Between it and Succoth was the clay-ground in which Solomon cast the utensils for the temple service. Now the mound called Tell-sa-rem (1 Kings 7:46). (2) The same place is doubtless meant by Zaretan (Josh. 3:16), and by Zererath (Judg. 7:22). (3) Supposedly another name for the Zartanah of 1 Kings 4:12. (4) Doubtless Zarthan (1) is meant by the Zeredathah of 2 Chron. 4:17.
