"wells"; in LXX Ancient Greek: Βηρωθ) was a Biblical city seven miles northwest of Jerusalem.
[3] The city was an ancient Hivite settlement, and is mentioned in Joshua 9:17, 18:25, 2 Samuel 4:2-3, Ezra 2:25 and Nehemiah 7:29.
The most noted source materials are the texts of the Bible, the Onomastikon of Eusebius,[4] the annotations of this same text by Jerome, and the Madaba Map[5] The distance Eusebius gives puts Beeroth somewhere between modern Biddu and Nebi Samwil.
Later much of the area taken in this initial campaign (including Beeroth) was given to Benjamin as inheritance in Joshua 18.
Beeroth may have been the place to which Gideon's youngest son, Joatham or Jotham, fled to escape from Abimelech after his 69 brothers had been killed (Judges 9:21).
