Lebanon and the Mediterranean. They spoke Hebrew, as the Israelites did, but their wor ship was the foul and bloody service of Baal and Ashtaroth. They were the boldest seafaring men in the world; the most cunning traders, who came to barter the Tyrian purple, the glass, the gold jewelry, and the little images of their own manu facture with the rude and primitive peoples already in possession. The Mediterranean had no terrors for their little barques, and they established trading posts and even actual colonies all along its coasts; one even, Gades of Tarshish the present Cadiz faced the ocean itself, beyond the strait now called Gibraltar, where the Pillars of Hercules guard the entrance to the Mediterranean.
