The Description of the townes and places to which IEROBOAM trauelled.

Of Zemeraim.

THis was a certaine Plaine in mount Ephraim, eight miles from Ierusalem towards the North, neere to the towne of Bethel in the Tribe of Manasses: for mount Ephraim is diuided into diuers parts and Tribes. It seemeth to take the name of cer∣taine trees that abound neere that place, whereon cotton wooll groweth: for Zaemaer signifieth, Wooll, which by little and little, vpon such trees doth increase and grow to perfection.

Of Thirza.

THis was a faire and beautifull citie, scituated in a high and pleasant mountaine, in the Tribe of Manasses, some twenty foure miles from Ierusalem towards the North. In this place, the kings of Israel vsed to keep their courts, vntill Samaria was built. It was so called because of the excellencie and delectablenesse of the place: for Thirza doth denote, An acceptable and thankfull citie; being deriued of Razah, he receiueth thankfully.
