Bible Verse Review
from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge
Bethcar: This place was probably situated in the tribe of Dan. Josephus calls it ןססביןי the LXX ביטקןס Targum, Betḣsaron; Syriac and Arabic Betḣjasan; by which Houbigant supposes is meant Beth-shan. 1 Samuel 7:11
Reciprocal: Deuteronomy 28:7 - flee before
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the men of Israel went out of Mizpeh,.... To which they were encouraged by hearing or perceiving that the army of the Philistines was discomfited by the thunder, and lightning, and earthquake:
and pursued the Philistines; who, when they came out, were fleeing from the opening earth, and frightened with thunder and lightning, and many were killed, and all put in disorder; so that they stayed not to engage in battle with Israel, and who had nothing to do but to pursue their enemy:
and smote them: with what weapons of war they could get at Mizpeh, and with what some might have with them for private use, and in common wear; but more especially with the weapons of the Philistines, which they in their confusion and fright had thrown away:
until they came under Bethcar; a place so called; "car" signifies a lamb; here might be formerly a temple dedicated to the lamb, unless it had its name in memory of the lamb Samuel now offered, which was followed with such success. Josephus o calls this place Corraea; and in the Targum it is Bethsaron, which signifies a fruitful field or champaign country.
o Antiqu. l. 6. c. 2. sect. 2.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Beth-car - This place is nowhere else mentioned. It seems to have stood on a hill overhanging the road from the Philistine territory to Mizpeh, and close to Ebenezer, 1 Samuel 4:1.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 1 Samuel 7:11. Under Beth-car. — We know not where this place was; the Septuagint have Beth-chor; the Targum, Beth-saron; and the Syriac and Arabic, Beth-jasan.
