Ezekiel 27:18

Damascus; a very ancient and wealthy city of Syria, and the royal city. The wares of thy making; see the phrase Ezekiel 27:16. For the multitude of all riches: though the Tyrians had many rich and lovely commodities, yet it pleased the Damascenes to bring chiefly two of their commodities in exchange, richest wines to please the palate of the luxurious Tyrians, and finest wool to clothe their pride. Halbon; this place I meet no where else; Ptolemy hath Chalinonis in Syria, perhaps they may be it. Others, to save trouble, make it a common name; sweet, or smooth, or fat wine; for Helbon comes from a word that signifies fat.
