Shihor-Libnath: Black-white, a stream on the borders of Asher, probably the modern
Nahr Zerka, i.e., the "crocodile brook," or "blue river", which rises
in the Carmel range and enters the Mediterranean a little to the
north of Caesarea
(Joshua 19:26) Crocodiles are still found in the Zerka.
Thomson suspects "that long ages ago some Egyptians, accustomed to
worship this ugly creature, settled here (viz., at Caesarea), and
brought their gods with them. Once here they would not easily be
exterminated" (The Land and the Book).
