BEEROTH
One of four Hivite cities that secured Joshua’s promise not to destroy them when the Israelites marched into Canaan (Jos 9:17). Beeroth was later identified as a city in Benjamin’s territory (Jos 18:25; 2 Sm 4:2-3). It was the home of Rechab and Baanah, assassins of King Ishbosheth (2 Sm 4:2-9), and of Naharai, Joab’s armor bearer (2 Sm 23:37; 1 Chr 11:39). The city was repopulated after the exile (Ezr 2:25; Neh 7:29). El Bireh near Ramallah and Nebi Samwil north of Jerusalem have both been suggested as possible locations for Beeroth.
