See WELL

(2.) A town in the tribe of Judah to which Jotham fled for fear of Abimelech kjv@Judges:9:21). Some have identified this place with Beeroth.

Beer-elim @ well of heroes, probably the name given to Beer, the place where the chiefs of Israel dug a well kjv@Numbers:21:16; kjv@Isaiah:15:8).

Beer-lahai-roi @ i.e., "the well of him that liveth and seeth me," or, as some render it, "the well of the vision of life", the well where the Lord met with Hagar kjv@Genesis:16:7-14). Isaac dwelt beside this well (24:62; 25:11). It has been identified with 'Ain Muweileh, or Moilahhi, south-west of Beersheba, and about 12 miles W. from Kadesh-barnea.

Beeroth of the children of Jaakan @ kjv@Deuteronomy:10:6). The same as Bene-jaakan kjv@Numbers:33:31).

Beersheba @ well of the oath, or well of seven, a well dug by Abraham, and so named because he and Abimelech here entered into a compact kjv@Genesis:21:31). On re-opening it, Isaac gave it the same name kjv@Genesis:26:31-33). It was a favourite place of abode of both of these patriarchs (21:33-22:1,19; 26:33; 28:10). It is mentioned among the "cities" given to the tribe of Simeon kjv@Joshua:19:2; kjv@1Chronicles:4:28). From Dan to Beersheba, a distance of about 144 miles kjv@Judges:20:1; kjv@1Chronicles:21:2; kjv@2Samuel:24:2), became the usual way of designating the whole Promised Land, and passed into a proverb. After the return from the Captivity the phrase is narrowed into "from Beersheba unto the valley of Hinnom" kjv@Nehemiah:11:30). The kingdom of the ten tribes extended from Beersheba to Mount Ephraim ( kjv@2Chronicals:19:4). The name is not found in the New Testament. It is still called by the Arabs Bir es
- Seba, i.e., "well of the seven", where there are to the present day two principal wells and five smaller ones. It is nearly midway between the southern end of the Dead Sea and the Mediterranean.
