Dath'ema {AidOifui ; Alex, and Josephus, AdOe- fui ; other MSS. AdfiiOa ; Vulg. DcUhema), a fortress (t6 dxvpwfta ; Joseph. <ppovpiov) in which the Jews of Gilead took refuge ttom the heathen (1 Mace, v, 9 ; Joseph. Ant. xii, 8, 1). Here they were relieved by Judas and Jonathan (1 Mace, v, 24). They marched from Bozora to Dathema (ver. 28, 29), and left it for Maspha (Mizpeh) (ver. 86). The reading of the Pe- *luto, HcmUha, points to Ramoth-Gilead, which can luirdly foil to be the correct identification. Ewald, however (Gesch. Itr. iii, 2, p. 359, note), would correct this to DanUha, which he compares with Dhamiy a place reported by Burckhardt {Syr, p. 196).— Smith,

Bathenna, Pbteb, one of the Dutch Reformers, ^as bom at Yperen, in Flanders. At an early age ^ entered the Carmelite monastery at Poperingen. Here he became acquainted with the doctrine of the Befonnation, and was so captivated by it that he soon resolved to leave the monastery and repair to England, in London he followed the occupation of a printer, ^^ying liberty of conscience un4er the reign of Ed-
ward YI, he applied himself diligently to the study of the Scriptures, m. the knowledge of which he made such proficiency that he was soon admitted to the ser- vice of the Church. He soon left England, and entered on the work of the ministry at Frankfort. He subse- quently sojourned in the Palatinate. Here he seems to have been held in high esteem. He was one of the five Reformed preachers who, in the presence of the elector and the duke of Wilrtemberg, held a disputa- tion with five Lutheran ministers on the ubiquity of Christ's body. In 1566 he retumed to his native land. West Flanders was at first the scene of his labors. He soon became known as one of the most zealous of the Reformed preachers. His enthusiasm, the cogency of his reasoning, and his mde but captivating elo- quence, attracted multitudes. His audience some- times amounted to more than fifteen thousand. His labors were not confined to Flanders, but extended to Zealand and other parts of Holland. Obliged to flee for his life, he again sought refuge in the Palatinate, and at Frankenthal, whither many Dutch, French, and Walloons had fled, he exercised his ministry. From here he went to Heidelberg, where he became court- preacher to John Casimir. In 1578 he was sent as delegate from Ghent to the General Synod at Dort, over whose deliberations he presided. He preached in various cities of Holland, but made Ghent the place of his permanent abode. Here he became involved m political affairs. His harangues so inflamed the populace that the Romanists were driven out of the city, and great excesses were committed in and around Ghent. As a consequence he was again obliged to flee, and again he sought and found refuge with hb former protector, John Casimir. In the midst of his active and troublous life he still found time for liter- ary pursuits. His translation of the Heidelberg Cat- echism into Dutch was adopted, and has, witii slight modifications, continued in use to the present time. He also gave a Dutch versification of the Book of Psalms, according to the French of Beza and Marot. This was also adopted by the Reformed Church, and was used in public worsh^ till 1773, when it was su- perseded by a version of higher poetic merit. His burning zod and abundant labors contributed much to advance the cause of the Reformation in Holland.
Daub, Kabl, a German theologian of the Hegelian school, was bom at Cassel March 20, 1765. In 1791 he became tutor in the academy of Marburg, where he had been studying since 1786. He was afterwards professor of philosophy in Hanau, and finally, in 1794, became professor of theology at Heidelberg. He died Nov. 22, 1886. Daub was one of the representatives of the new speculative theology. At first, especially in his Predigten nach KaoHschen Grundsdtzen (1794), and in his KatecheHk (Heidelb. 1801), he was a Kantian ; he afterwards inclined to Fichte ; and in his Theologou- mena (Heidelb. 1806)* and Eirdeitvng in d. Studium d, Dogmatik (Heidelb. 1810), he applied Schelling's doc- trine to theology. As the latter ended with theosophic dualism, so Daub, in his Judos /«cario^ (Heidelb. 1816; 2d ed. 1818), displayed a speculation almost border- ing on Manicheism.aThis work bears witness to Iiis struggle with Hegers phenomenology and logic, but Hegel finally prevailed. Daub was a man of old German simplicity, great moral energy, and warm foith ; yet, with a great talent for teaching, he was too abstract in his literary productions to influence a large circle. This is especially the case with his last work. Die dogmatische Tkeologie jeieiger Zeit (Heidelb. 1838). He was associated with Creuzer in publishing a periodical entitled Studim (Heidelb. 1805-10, 6 vols.). His works have been publbhed by Marheineke and Dittenberger (Berl. 1838-44, 7 vols.).- Pierer, Ufdv.- Lexikon, s. v. ; Kahnis, German ProteslanUtm (Edinb. 1866, 12mo, p. 243) ; Rosenkranz, J?rtfifi«r«ft^en an Carl Daub (Berl. 1837) ; Strauss, Charakterietiken u.
