Palestine -- Description and travel
The description of the flight of “Ahaziah, king of Judah,” and his
pursuit by Jehu, in 2 Kings ix. 27, is wrongly translated in our
version. Instead of “by the way of the garden-house,” it should be “by
the way of En-gannim.” A glance at the map will show that he was
endeavouring to escape into his own country by the direct route along
which we have been travelling.

from 1 Kings xvi. 29 to xxii. 40, and 2 Kings x.
Footnote 226:
A friend of mine who had crossed it dry-shod in the morning, when
riding from Haifa to visit El-Muhrakah, was exposed to considerable
danger when endeavouring to recross it in the afternoon, and narrowly
escaped being swept away.
