About Beeroth
One of four Hivite cities that Joshua promised to not destroy when the Israelites marched into Canaan (Joshua 9:17). Beeroth was later listed as a city in Benjamin’s territory (Joshua 18:25; 2 Samuel 4:2–3). It was the home of Rechab and Baanah, the assassins of King Ishbosheth (2 Samuel 4:2–9), and of Naharai, Joab’s armor bearer (2 Samuel 23:37; 1 Chronicles 11:39). People moved into the city after the exile in Babylon (Ezra 2:25; Nehemiah 7:29). Certain cities have been named as possible locations for Beeroth, including:
El Bireh near Ramallah
