Bethhoron:
(house of caverns) the name of two towns or villages, an "upper" and a "nether," (Joshua 16:3; 16:5; 1 Chronicles 7:24) on the road from Gibeon to Azekah (Joshua 10:10-11) and the Philistine plain (1 Maccabees 3:24). Beth‐horon lay on the boundary line between Benjamin and Ephraim (Joshua 16:3, 5; and Joshua 18:13-14). Was counted to Ephraim (Joshua 21:22; 1 Chronicles 7:24) and given to the Kohathites (Joshua 21:22; 1 Chronicles 6:68; 1 Chronicles 6:53). The two Beth‐horons still survive in the modern villages of Beit‐ur, et‐tahta and el‐foka.
