1 Kings 4:16
"Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher and in Aloth:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

Baanah the son of Hushai was in Asher,.... In the tribe of Asher; a very plentiful tribe, particularly for oil; this officer was perhaps the son of Hushai, the Archite,

David's friend, and, it may be, promoted for his sake: and in Aloth; which signifies ascensions, mountains went upon by steps; near to this place was an high mountain, called the ladder of Tyre (t); perhaps that and the parts adjacent may be meant here. (t) Vid. Joseph. de Bello Jud. l. 2. c. 10. sect. 2.
