BEEROTH (wells).A Gibeonite city, usually coupled in enumeration with Chephirah and Kiriath-jearim (Jos_9:17, Ezr_2:25, Neh_7:29); assigned to the tribe of Benjamin (Jos_18:25, 2Sa_4:2); the home of Rechab, murderer of Ish-bosheth (2Sa_4:2), and of Naharai, armour-bearer of Joab (2Sa_23:37). Bireh, about 10 miles from Jerusalem on the main road to the north, is the usual identification, and there seems no special reason for objecting thereto. The circumstances and date of the flight of the Beerothites to Gittaim (2Sa_4:3) are not recorded.

("wells".) One of the four Hivite cities (the others being Gibeon, Chephirah, and Kirjath Jearim: Jos_9:17), which obtained peace with Joshua by false pretenses. Allotted to Benjamin (Jos_18:25). Ishbosheth's murderers Baanah and Rechab, and their father Rimmon, belonged to it. Its original occupants repaired to the Philistine Gittaim (Neh_11:33; 2Sa_4:2-3; 2Sa_4:7). The men of Beeroth were among those who returned from Babylon (Ezr_2:25). Now El-bireh, on the road to Nablus, ten miles N. of Jerusalem, below a ridge bounding the northward view. The traditional site of Jesus' parents not finding Him in their company (Luk_2:43-45). The usual halt at the first day's close for caravans going N. from Jerusalem. Naharai, one of David's mighty men, was a Beerothite (1Ch_11:39).

Be-e'roth. (wells). One of the four cities of the Hivites, who deluded Joshua into a treaty of peace with them. Jos_9:17. It is now el-Bireh, which stands about 10 miles north of Jerusalem.

bē̇-ē?roth, bē?ẽr-oth (בּארות, be'ērōth; Βηρώθ, Bērō̇th): One of the cities of the Canaanites whose inhabitants succeeded in deceiving Israel, and in making a covenant with them (Jos_9:3). Apparently they were Hivites (Jos_9:7). The occasion on which the Beerothites fled to Gittaim where they preserved their communal identity is not indicated. The town was reckoned to Benjamin (2Sa_4:2 f). Eusebius, Onomasticon places it under Gibeon, 7 Roman miles from Jerusalem on the way to Nicopolis (Amwās). If we follow the old road by way of Gibeon (el-Jı̄b) and Bethhoron, Beeroth would lie probably to the Northwest of el-Jı̄b. The traditional identification is with el-Bı̄reh, about 8 miles from Jerusalem on the great north road. If the order in which the towns are mentioned (Jos_9:17; Jos_18:25) is any guide as to position, el-Bireh is too far to the Northwest. The identification is precarious. To Beeroth belonged the murderers of Ish-bosheth (2Sa_4:2), and Naharai, Joab's armor-bearer (2Sa_23:37; 1Ch_11:39). It was reoccupied after the Exile (Ezr_2:25; Neh_7:29).

Beeroth
(Heb. Betroth', בְּאֵרוֹת, wells; Sept. Βηρώτ, Βεηρωθά, Βηρωθ), one of the four cities of the Hivites who deluded Joshua into a treaty of peace with them, the other three being Gibeon, Chephirah, and Kirjath-jearim (Jos_9:17). Beeroth was with the rest of these towns allotted to Benjamin (Jos_18:25), in whose possession it continued at the time of David, the murderers of Ishbosheth being named as belonging to it (2Sa_4:2). From the notice in this place (2Sa_4:2-3), it would appear that the original inhabitants had been forced from the town, and had taken refuge at Gittaim (Neh_11:34), possibly a Philistine city. Beeroth is once more named with Chephirah and Kirjath-jearim in the list of those who returned from Babylon (Ezr_2:25; Neh_7:29; 1 Esdras 5, 19). Besides Baanah and Rechab, the murderers of Ishbosheth, with their father Rimmon, we find Nahari the Berothite' (2Sa_23:37), or the Berothite (1Ch_11:39), one of the mighty men of David's guard. SEE BEEROTH-BENE-JAAKAN.
The name of Beeroth is the plural of BEER, and it has therefore been taken by many for the same place. Eusebius and Jerome, however, both distinguish it from Beer (Onomast. s.v. Βηρώθ), although there has been much misunderstanding of their language respecting it (see Reland, Palaest. p. 618, 619). The former says that it could be seen in passing from Jerusalem to Nicopolis, at the seventh mile; a description that to this day is true of a place still bearing the corresponding name of el-Bireh, which, since Maundrell's time, has been identified with this locality (Journey, March 25). According to Robinson (Researches, 2, 132), the traveler in that direction sees el-Bireh on his right after a little more than two hours from Jerusalem. Jerome, on the other hand, apparently misconceiving Eusebius as meaning that Beeroth was on the road, from which he says it is visible, changes Nicopolis to Neapolis, which still leaves the distance and direction sufficiently exact. Bireh is mentioned under the name of Bira by Brocard (vii. 278), in whose time it was held by the Templars. By the Crusaders and the later ecclesiastics it was erroneously confounded with the ancient Michmash. Bireh is situated on the ridge, running from east to west, which bounds the northern prospect, as beheld from Jerusalem and its vicinity, and may be seen from a great distance north and south. It is now a large village, with a population of 700 Moslems. The houses are low, and many of them half underground. Many large stones and various substructions evince the antiquity of the site; and there are remains of a fine old church of the time of the Crusades (Richter, Wallfahrten, p. 54). According to modern local tradition it was the place at which the parents of the child Jesus discovered that he was not among their company (Luk_2:43-45); and it is a fact that the spring of el-Bireh is even to this day the customary resting-place for caravans going northward, at the end of the first day's journey from Jerusalem (Stanley, Palest. p. 215; Lord Nugent, 2:112).
