Subjects in this Topic:
BETH-HACCHEREM (‘place of the vineyard’), Neh_3:14, Jer_6:1.—It appears to have had a commanding position for a beacon or ensign. Tradition fixed on Herodium south of Bethlehem, probably because it was a conspicuous site near Tekoa, with which it is noticed. A possible site is ‘Ain Karim, west of Jerusalem, where there are vineyards.
