Betomasthem (Greek: Βαıτομασθαίμ, Baitomasthaim)[1] or Betomestham (Βετομεσθαίμ, Betomesthaim)[2] is an unidentified town from the Book of Judith.
[4] Betomasthem is described in the Book of Judith as a town "over against Esdraelon, facing the plain that is near Dothaim",[2] and in the vicinity of "Bebai, Chobai, and Cola, in the coasts of Israel".
Torrey went further to identify the Hebrew basis for Betomasthem as “Bayit Mizpah”, which means “house of outlook”.
[7] Adam Zertal and Nivi Mirkam have suggested the site of el-Baṭn, located between the Jezreel and Dothan Valleys, as a possible candidate for Betomasthem.
[8] Theologian Antoine Augustin Calmet wrote in his commentary on the book of Judith, the "Commentaire littéral sur tous les livres de l'ancien et du nouveau testament: "Béthomesthaim is Betsamés, or, according to the Syriac pronunciation, Bétomesta".
