Wells, one of the four cities of the Hivites which entered by fraud into a league with Joshua. It belonged to Benjamin (Josh. 18:25). It has by some been identified with el-Bireh on the way to Nablus, 10 miles north of Jerusalem.
Beeroth
Beeroth was a small town with a long memory. When Israel journeyed and “came unto their cities on the third day”, Beeroth was named beside Gibeon, Chephirah and Kirjathjearim. It later appears in Benjamin’s territory, and 2 Samuel 4:2 says “Beeroth also was reckoned to Benjamin”, which is where Baanah and Rechab, captains of bands under Saul’s son, belonged. After the exile it is counted again: “The men of Kirjathjearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred forty and three.” A modest place, remembered in the lists at each turn of the story. Joshua 9 is the best place to start.
