Significance of the names in Alabama:
Boaz = Beth-lehem
(Ruth 2:4) in Judah.
Goshen was to
the south, in Judah (Joshua 15:51).
Jericho belonged
to Benjamin (Joshua 18:12).
Joppa initially
belonged to Dan (Joshua 19:46) but was taken over by Ephraim.
Mt. Carmel was
in the north, on the coast, on the border of Asher (Joshua
19:26) and Manasseh
and pertaining to Manasseh.
Mt. Carmel: again
the Tribe of Manasseh.
Mt Carmel was
the scene of the confrontation of Elijah with the prophets
of baal (1-Kings
18:16-46).
Mt. Hebron: Hebron
was in the south, in Judah.
Mt. Olive: Presumably
in honor of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, in
Judah but belonging
to all Israel.
Pisgah: On the
border between Reuben (Joshua 13:20) and Manasseh and
belonging to
Manasseh.
Ruhamah: In Hebrew
means "Shown Mercy". It is a name applied to the Ten
Tribes in general
(Hosea 1:6-2:1).
Rough Total for
Alabama: Judah (3), Benjamin (1), Dan (1?), Ephraim (1?),
Manasseh (3),
[Ephraim and Manasseh= Joseph = 4], All Israel (1), Lost
Tribes expressly
(1).
These are good
figures: a lot of Judah. Lost Tribes overwhelming, Manasseh
the largest section,
Joseph (Manasseh together with Ephraim) preponderant.

18:17] AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN AHAB SAW ELIJAH, THAT AHAB SAID

[1-Kings
18:24] AND CALL YE ON THE NAME OF YOUR GODS, AND I WILL CALL ON

18:25] AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO THE PROPHETS OF BAAL, CHOOSE YOU ONE
[1-Kings
18:26] AND THEY TOOK THE BULLOCK WHICH WAS GIVEN THEM, AND THEY
[1-Kings
18:27] AND IT CAME TO PASS AT NOON, THAT ELIJAH MOCKED THEM, AND
[1-Kings
18:28] AND THEY CRIED ALOUD, AND CUT THEMSELVES AFTER THEIR MANNER
[1-Kings
18:29] AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHEN MIDDAY WAS PAST, AND THEY

18:38] THEN THE FIRE OF THE LORD FELL, AND CONSUMED THE BURNT

18:39] AND WHEN ALL THE PEOPLE SAW IT, THEY FELL ON THEIR FACES:
[1-Kings
18:40] AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO THEM, TAKE THE PROPHETS OF BAAL; LET
[1-Kings
18:41] AND ELIJAH SAID UNTO AHAB, GET THEE UP, EAT AND DRINK; FOR
[1-Kings
18:42] SO AHAB WENT UP TO EAT AND TO DRINK. AND ELIJAH WENT UP TO
[1-Kings
18:43] AND SAID TO HIS SERVANT, GO UP NOW, LOOK TOWARD THE SEA.
[1-Kings
18:44] AND IT CAME TO PASS AT THE SEVENTH TIME, THAT HE SAID,
