Zarthan
        1. A place in the circle of Jordan, mentioned in connection with Succoth. 1Ki 7:46
        2. It is also named in the account of the passage of the Jordan by the Israelites, Jos 3:18 where the authorized Version has Zaretan.
        3. A place with the similar name of Zartanah. 1Ki 4:12
        4. Further, Zeredathah, named in 2Ch 4:17 only in specifying the situation of the foundries for the brass-work of Solomon's temple, is substituted for Zarthan; and this again is not impossibly identical with the Zererath of the story of Gideon. Jud 7:22 All these spots agree in proximity to the Jordan, but beyond this we are absolutely at fault as to their position.
