What is Tahtim-hodshi?
TAH'TIM-HOD'SHI
, THE LAND OF. This is admitted to be an inaccurate text, but neither the Septuagint nor the Syriac version throws light on the true reading. The land was visited by Joab while taking the census of the land of Israel. 2 Sam 24:6. Some make it a proper name, some translate it as above; others translate the first part, and make "Hodshi" a proper name. This is done by Furst, who makes Hodshi a city in Northern Palestine. Porter (in Kitto) says it was manifestly a section of the upper valley of the Jordan, probably that now called Ard-el-Huleh, lying deep down at the western base of Hermon. Merrill locates it at the south end of the Sea of Galilee.
