James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Bethulia


Subjects in this Topic:

BETHULIA.—The locality of the scenes of the Book of Judith (Jdt_4:6-7 etc.). If not a synonym for Jerusalem itself, it is an unknown site south of the plain of Jezreel. Mithilyah from the similarity of the name, Sanur from its commanding position, and even Shechem, have all been suggested as possible sites.
