Place

ABSALOMS PILLAR, OR PLACE [SMITH]

A monument of tomb which Absalom had built during his lifetime in the king?s dale, i.e. the valley of the Kedron, at the foot of Mount Olivet, near Jerusalem, (2 Samuel 18:18) comp. with 2Sam 14:27 For his three sons, and where he probably expected to be buried. The tomb there now, and called by Absalom?s name was probably built at a later date.

PLACE [ISBE]

PLACE - plas: Normally for maqom, Old Testament, and topos, New Testament, but in the King James Version "place" represents a great number of Hebrew and Greek words, often used with no difference in force (e.g. 2 Ch 35:10,15). the Revised Version (British and American) has made few changes, but occasionally has attempted to specialize the meaning (Gen 40:13; Job 37:8; Acts 8:32; Jas 3:11, etc.).
