dvance into Asia in pursuance of his claim for a share of
the crumbling Assyrian Empire there are two independent records: (1)
Jeremiah XLVII. 1--_and Pharaoh smote Gaza_--a headline (with other
particulars) wrongly prefixed by the Hebrew text, but not by the Greek, to
an Oracle upon an invasion of Philistia not from the south but from the
north (see above, pp. 13, 61); (2) by Herodotus, II. 159, who says that
"Necoh (Nekos) making war by land on the Syrians defeated them at Magdolos
and after the battle took Kadutis, a great city of Syria." Magdolos is
probably Megiddo, unless it stands for Megdel, which, as well as Rumman (=
Hadad-rimmon, the scene of the mourning for Josiah, Zech. XII. 11) lies
near Megiddo. If, as is usually held, Kadutis be Gaza, Herodotus has
reversed the proper order of Necoh's two actions; but Kadutis also
suggests _hak-Kodesh_, _the holy_, an epithet of Jerusalem (_Jerusalem_,
I. 270) which would suit Herodotus' order, for it was after Megiddo that
Necoh became master of Jerusalem and Judah. The suggestion, though worth
mentioning, is doubtful; the epithet is late, exilic and post-exilic; and
Herodotus' phrase _took Kadutis_ is hardly equivalent to _became
paramount_ there as Necoh became paramount in Jerusalem.
