STONE-SQUARERS . Only 1 Kings 5:18 AV [Note: Authorized Version.]; RV [Note: Revised Version.] has Gebalites as Joshua 13:5 RV [Note: Revised Version.] , that is, men of the PhÅ“nician city of Gebal, mentioned Ezekiel 27:9 , where the ancients and wise men of Gebal are referred to as calkers of ships. It has recently been suggested that the gentilic name had become an appellative in the sense of ‘stonecutter’ ( S BOT , ‘Kings,’ 83 f.), which is the meaning of AV [Note: Authorized Version.] . Others would emend to read ‘did hew them and border them,’ i.e. provide the stones with marginal drafts or with bevels. Cf. Arts and Crafts, § 3 .
