* Capernaum.
Capernaum was a city of Galilee, (Lu 4:31,) situated on the
confines of Zebulun, and Naphtali, (Mt 4:13,) on the western
border of the lake of Tiberias, (Joh 6:59,) and in the land of
Gennesaret, (ch. 6:53; Mt 14:34,) where Josephus places a
spring of excellent water called Capernaum. Dr. Lightfoot
places it between Tiberias and Tarichea, about two miles from
the former; and Dr. Richardson, in passing through the plain
of Gennesaret, was told by the natives that the ruins of
Capernaum were quite near. The Arab station and ruins
mentioned by Mr. Buckingham, said to have been formerly called
Capharnaoom, situated on the edge of the lake from nine to
twelve miles N. N. E. of Tiberias, bearing the name of
Talhewn, or as Burckhardt writes it, Tel Houm, appear too far
north for its site.
