(Heb. Borhas-Sirah', בּור הִסַּירָה 8, cistern of the Sirah; Sept. translates φρέαρ τοῦ Σειράμ), a place in the southern part of Palestine, where Joab's messengers found Abner (2 Samuel 3:26, where our version renders "well of Sirah"), probably the same as Besira (Βησίρα ) of Josephus (Ant. 7:1, 5), twenty stadia from Hebron. (See SIRAH).
