Tel Shoket (Hebrew: תל שוקת) is an Israeli tell or archaeological hill in the north of the Negev.

[1] Some identify Tel Shoket with the biblical town of Lebaot (also called Beit Lebaot or Beit Barai), mentioned in the list of cities received by the tribe of Shimon within the territory of the tribe of Judah.

Others identify it with Beit Pelet mentioned in the book of Nehemiah as one of the southern settlements where the people of Judah lived during the Persian period.

During the campaign for Sinai and Palestine in World War I, about 1,100 Ottoman soldiers from the 3rd Cavalry Division were stationed at Tel Shoket.

As the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps approached Tel Be'er Sheva in preparation for the 1917 Battle of Beersheba, they encountered massive fire from the fortified Ottoman positions that slowed the advancement from Beersheba to Hebron and Jerusalem.
