180 IDENTIFICATION OF PLACES
Qidsha, of 147, seems to be probably the
same Qedesh.
Qilti is usually recognized as Keilah, 8
N.W. of Hebron.
Qutu was near Ardata and Irqata, but is
now unknown.
Rubuta is a Rabbath or capital, and was
near Gezer (260) and not far from Gimzu
and Keilah (256). This points to Kh. Rubba
(4 N.N.W. Keilah), supposed to be Rabbah
of Josh. xv. 60.
Rukhizi, see Mikhiza.
Shaddu was near Gizza, Gish, and Abitu,
Abdeh ; perhaps Shatiyeh, 6 S.E. of Tyre.
Shamkhuna was the city of Shumaddu,
who leagued with Akku to attack Kanawat
in the Hauran. Between these two places
is Lake Merom, known as Semekhonitis in
Greek times, with the Ain es Semakh, 6
N.E. of the lake.
Shankhar was allied with the Khatti, in
relation to Alashiya. Probably the Egyptian
Senzar or Sangar. Whether it be the same
as Zinzar, Shinshar (11 S. Horns), or be
Sejar (13 N.W. Horns), is not clear.
