BEER [ISBE]

BEER - be'-er (be'er; phrear; Latin puteus = "well"):

(1) A station on the march of the Israelites to the North of the Arnon (Nu 21:16). Here it was that they sang round the well this song:

`Spring up O well; greet it with song,

Well, that the princes have dug,

The nobles of the people have bored,

With the scepter--with their staves' (Nu 21:16 ff).

The place is not identified.

(2) The town to which Jotham fled from his brother Abimelech after declaring his parable from Mt. Gerizim (Jdg 9:21). This may be identical with BEEROTH, which see.
