Berothah
        (toward the wells), Bero'-tha-i (my wells). The first of these two names is given by Ezekiel, Eze 47:16 in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the promised land. The second is mentioned, 2Sa 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.
