Berothah

VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
BEROTHAI or BEROTHAH. (See BEROTHAI.)
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Bero'thah. (toward the wells). and Bero'-tha-i. (my wells). The first of these two names, Berothah, is given by Ezekiel, Eze_47:16, in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the Promised Land. The second of these two names, Berothai, is mentioned, 2Sa_8:8, in the same connection. The well-known city Beirut (Berytus), naturally suggests itself as identical with one at least of the names; but in each instance, the circumstances of the case seem to require a position farther east. They were probably in the vicinity of the springs near the present Hasbeya.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


bē̇-rō?tha (Eze_47:16 : בּרותה, bērōthāh; Septuagint Codex Vaticanus, Ἀβθηρά, Abthērá; or BEROTHAI 2Sa_8:8; בּרתי, bērōthai, where for מבּרתי rof ere, mibbērōthai Septuagint reads ek tō̇n eklektō̇n póleōn, ?from the select cities?): Probably two forms of the same name. Eze_47:16 places it on the ideal northern frontier of Israel, between Damascus and Hamath. According to 2Sa_8:8 it was a city of Hadadezer, king of Zobah. In the parallel passage (1Ch_18:8) Cun is given in place of Berothai. Its site is unknown. Ewald connected it with Beir?t (so also apparently H. P. Smith, ICC, ?Samuel,? 307), but Ezekiel's description excludes this view. Others have sought it in the Wady Brissa, in the East slope of Lebanon, North of Baalbec. A more plausible conjecture identifies it with Bereitān (Brithēn), a village somewhat South of Baalbec (Baedeker, Pal3, 369). Possibly, however, the ideal northern frontier line should be drawn farther south. See HETHLON; ZEDAD; ZOBAH.
