Joshua 16:3
Beth-horon.Eusebius says that the two Beth-horons were twelve miles from Jerusalem, towards Nicopolis or Emmaus: of which the one, called upper Beth-horon, from its situation, was built (rebuilt) by Solomon, and the other, called nether Beth-horon, was given to the Levites. Josephus places Beth-oron about 100 furlongs from Jerusalem. Dr. Clarke mentions an Arab village called Bethoor, about twelve miles from Jerusalem, a small distance from Rama, which he supposes, from its situation on a hill, to be Beth-horon the upper. 18:13; 1Ki 9:15-17; 1Ch 7:24,28; 2Ch 8:5Gezer.Probably the [gazara] of Eusebius, four miles from Nicopolis. the seaNu 34:6Joshua 16:8
