Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from בְּאֵרוֹת (Beeroth), which is a proper noun referring to a location. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Beerothite" as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical origin. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their place of origin is present in the Greek New Testament, where similar terms are used to denote people from specific locations (e.g., "Nazarene" for someone from Nazareth). Usage: The term "Beerothite" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote individuals originating from the town of Beeroth. This term is specifically used to identify the lineage or geographical origin of certain individuals. Context: The term "Beerothite" appears in the context of identifying individuals associated with the town of Beeroth, one of the cities of the Gibeonites. Beeroth was a city allotted to the tribe of Benjamin, as mentioned in Joshua 18:25. The Beerothites are notably mentioned in the context of the narrative involving the Gibeonites, who deceived Joshua and the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them (Joshua 9). In 2 Samuel 4:2, the term "Beerothite" is used to describe Baanah and Rechab, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, who were captains of bands for Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul. The passage highlights their origin from Beeroth, emphasizing their connection to the Benjamite territory. The Beerothites had fled to Gittaim and lived there as foreigners for a time, as noted in 2 Samuel 4:3. The mention of Beerothites in the biblical narrative underscores the complex relationships and interactions among the tribes of Israel and their neighbors. The Beerothites, as part of the Gibeonite confederation, played a role in the broader historical and theological themes of covenant, deception, and divine justice.
