One of the cities given to Simeon’s tribe within Judah’s land (1 Chr 4:30). Bethuel is also called Bethul in Joshua 19:4, and is perhaps the same as Chesil or Kesil, a city given to Judah’s tribe (Joshua 15:30). It may also be the same as Bethel in the Negev, to which David sent gifts (1 Samuel 30:27).
