Bahurim

Bahurim (etymology uncertain[1]) was a village mentioned in the Hebrew Bible east of Jerusalem, on the road to the Jordan valley, close to the Mount of Olives.

It is also mentioned during David's flight from Absalom: Here also the Cohanim Jonathan and Ahimaaz hid themselves (2 Samuel 17:18).

A Jewish tradition in the Targum identifies Bahurim with Almon (Joshua 21:18), later called Almît, about 4 miles N.E.

[4] The village, he argues, underwent a metamorphosis in name change; the name evolving from Būrīs, or Wadīs by another account, to what it is today.

According to Zohar Amar, the name can be traced back, etymologically, to its earlier Greek pronunciation Baoureis (Baoureim) (with the absence of the voiceless pharyngeal fricative "chet", which has a slight aspirated sound in Hebrew, but does not exist in Greek pronunciation).
