Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root word בְּאֵר (be'er), meaning "well" or "pit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the term "Berites," as it is a specific Hebrew term referring to a group within the Old Testament context. Usage: The term "Berites" is used in the context of identifying a specific group of people in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in 2 Samuel 20:14. Context: The Berites are mentioned in the context of the narrative involving Sheba, the son of Bichri, who led a rebellion against King David. In 2 Samuel 20:14, it is noted that Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel Beth Maacah, and all the Berites gathered together and followed him. The Berites are likely a clan or group associated with the city of Beeroth, which was one of the four cities of the Gibeonites (Joshua 9:17). Beeroth is located in the territory of Benjamin, and its inhabitants were among those who deceived Joshua into making a peace treaty with them. The Berites' association with Sheba's rebellion suggests they may have had some political or familial ties to the events of the time.
