Carmel:
"And [there was] a manª in Maon,ª whose possessionsª [were] in Carmel;ª and the manª [was] veryª great,ª and he had threeª thousandª sheep,ª and a thousandª goats:ª and he was¹ shearingª °¹ his sheepª in Carmel.ª" {1Sm 25:2} + "Maon,ª Carmel,ª and Ziph,ª and Juttah,ª" {Jsh 15:55} + "So Ahabª went upª ° to eatª ° and to drink.ª ° And Elijahª went upª ° to¹ the topª of Carmel;ª and he cast himself downª ° upon the earth,ª and putª ° his faceª between¹ his knees,ª" {1Kg 18:42}

he set him:
"Then Samuelª tookª ° aª stone,ª and setª ° [it] between¹ Mizpehª and Shen,ª and calledª °¹ the nameª of it Ebenezer,ª saying,ª ° Hitherto¹ ¹ hath the LORDª helpedª ° us." {1Sm 7:12} + "And the childrenª of Israelª didª ° so¹ as¹ Joshuaª commanded,ª ° and took upª ° twelveª ª stonesª out of the midstª ¹ of Jordan,ª as¹ the LORDª spakeª ° unto¹ Joshua,ª according to the numberª of the tribesª of the childrenª of Israel,ª and carried them overª ° with¹ them unto¹ the place where they lodged,ª and laid them down² °¹ there.¹ ...

a place:
Yad, Literally as the LXX render χειρα, a hand; probably because the trophy or monument of victory was in the shape of a large hand, the emblem of power, erected on a pillar. These memorial pillars were anciently much in use; and the figure of a hand, by its emblematical meaning, was well adapted to preserve the remembrance of a victory. Niebuhr, speaking of the Mesjed Ali, or Mosque of Ali, says that, "at the top of the dome, where one generally sees on the Turkish mosques a crescent, or only a pole, there is here a hand stretched out, to represent that of Ali." Another writer informs us, that at the Alhamra, or red palace of the Moorish kings in Grenada, "on the key-stone of the outward arch [of the present principal entrance] is sculptured the figure of an arm, the symbol of strength and dominion."
