1 Samuel 15:12
A place - Rather, "a monument." The Hebrew word yâd means a "hand," but is used in the sense of "monument," or "trophy," in II Samuel 18:18, where we are told that the marble pillar which Absalom set up in his lifetime, was called "Yad Absalom."
Carmel - (see the marginal reference) would be on Saul' s line of march on his return from the country of the Amalekites, more especially if he came from the neighborhood of Akaba.
