A royal city of the Canaanites, east of Bethel, near which Abraham once sojourned and built an altar, Genesis 12:8; 13:3 . It is memorable for Joshua's defeat on account of Achan, and his subsequent victory, Joshua 7:2-5; 8:1-29 . It was rebuilt, and is mentioned by Isaiah. Its ruins are spoken of by Eusebius and Jerome, but the exact site cannot now be fixed with certainty.
