Bero'thah. (toward the wells). and Bero'-tha-i. (my wells). The first of these two names, Berothah, is given by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 47:16, in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the Promised Land. The second of these two names, Berothai, is mentioned, 2 Samuel 8:8, in the same connection. The well-known city Beirut (Berytus), naturally suggests itself as identical with one at least of the names; but in each instance, the circumstances of the case seem to require a position farther east. They were probably in the vicinity of the springs near the present Hasbeya.
