BEZEK.Two places so called are perhaps to be distinguished in OT. 1. Jdg_1:5. A place attacked by Judah after Joshuas death, probably Bezkah, a ruin W. of Jerusalem, in the lower hills. 2. 1Sa_11:8, where Saul gathered Israel before advancing on Jahesh-gilead The most likely site in this connexion is the ruin Ibzik, N.E. of Shechem, opposite Jabesh.

1. Adoni-Bezek's residence, in Judah's lot (Jdg_1:3-5). (See ADONI-BEZEK.) Now Beit-zata, S. of Jerusalem, or else Bezik on the road from Nablus to Beisan.
2. Where Saul numbered the national forces before relieving Jabesh Gilead from Ammon (1Sa_11:8); somewhere near the Jordan valley, within marching distance from Jabesh, 17 miles from Shechem, on the road to Bethshan.

Be'zek. (lightning).
1. The residence of Adonibezek, Jdg_1:6, in the lot of Judah. Compare Jdg_1:3.
2. Where Saul numbered the forces of Israel and Judah, before going to the relief of Jabesh-gilead. 1Sa_11:8 This was, doubtless, somewhere in the centre of the country, near the Jordan valley. No identification of either place has been made, in modern times.

bē?zek (בּזק, bezeḳ; Βέζεκ, Bézek, Codex Vaticanus, Ἀβιέζεκ, Abiézek):
(1) The city of Adoni-bezek taken by Judah and Simeon (Jdg_1:4 f), in the territory allotted to Judah. It is somewhat doubtfully identified with Bezḳah, about 3 miles Northeast of Gezer.
(2) The place where Saul marshaled his army before marching to the relief of Jabesh-gilead (1Sa_11:8). Eusebius, Onomasticon speaks of two villages of this name 17 Roman miles from Shechem, on the way to Scythopolis. No doubt Khirbet Ibzı̄ḳ is intended. Here, or on the neighboring height, Rās Ibzı̄ḳ, a mountain 2,404 ft. above sea level, the army probably assembled.

Be?zek, a city over which Adoni-bezek was king (Jdg_1:4, sq.), and where Saul mustered his army to march to the relief of Jabesh-Gilead (1Sa_11:8). Eusebius and Jerome mention two towns of this name close together, seventeen miles from Neapolis in Shechem, on the road to Bethshan.

Bezek
(Heb. id. בֶּזֶק, lightning; Sept. Βέζεκ and Βεζέκ), the name apparently of two places in Palestine.
1. The residence of Adoni-bezek, i.e. the lord of Bezek (Jdg_1:5), in the lot (גֹּרָל) of Judah (Jdg_1:3), and inhabited by Canaanites and Perizzites (Jdg_1:4). This must have been in the mountains (up), not far from Jerusalem (Jdg_1:7); possibly on the eminence near Deir el-Ghafr, marked by Van de Velde (Map) at four miles S.W. of Bethlehem (comp. Robinson, Researches, 2, 337, 338). Sand (Itiner. p. 182) mentions a village Bezek two miles west of the site of Beth-zur, but this lacks confirmation. Others propose other identifications, even the Bezetha on the north of Jerusalem. SEE BEZETH.
2. The rendezvous where Saul numbered the forces of Israel and Judah before going to the relief of Jabesh-gilead (1Sa_11:8). From the terms of the narrative this cannot have been more than a day's march from Jabesh, and was therefore doubtless somewhere in the center of the country, near the Jordan valley. In accordance with this is the mention by Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast. s.v. Βεζέκ, Bezech) of two places of this name seventeen miles from Neapplis (Shechem), on the road to Beth- shean. This would place it at Khulat-Maleh, on the descent to the Jordan, near Succoth. The Sept. inserts ἐν Βαμά after the name, possibly alluding to some high place at which this solemn muster took place. This Josephus gives as Bala (Βαλά, Ant. 6, 5, 3). Schwarz (Palest. p. 158) says that Bezek is the modern village Azbik, five English miles south of Beth- shean;' but no other traveler speaks of such a name.
Bezek (ADDENDUM FROM VOLUME 11)
1. (Jdg_1:5.) This is thought by Lieut. Conder (Tent-work, 2, 335; Quar. Statement of the Pal. Explor. Fund, 1881, p. 50) to be the ruined site Bezkah, south of Lydda, but the Ordnance Map contains no such name in that immediate vicinity.
2. (1Sa_11:8.) This has been fully recovered by Lieut. Conder (ibid.) in the ruined site, with graves and cisterns, laid down on the Ordnance Map as Khirbet Izbik, nine miles west of the Jordan and eleven miles southwest of Beisan.
