Aczib
A city in Judah (Joshua 15:44). The prophet Micah listed it with other cities that would be destroyed with Samaria (Micah 1:14). It was probably the same city as Chezib (Genesis 38:5) and Cozeba (1 Chronicles 4:22).
A city in Asher (Joshua 19:29). It was one of seven cities from which Asher failed to remove the Canaanite inhabitants (Judges 1:31). Recent archaeological digs at Aczib (modern ez-Zib) show that people lived in the town from the ninth to the third centuries BC.
