BETH-BIRI
(Beth-birʹi).
A town in the Negeb region of Judah but assigned to the sons of Simeon. (1 Chron. 4:24, 31) In the parallel list of towns at Joshua 19:6 it appears as Beth-lebaoth, and some suggest that Beth-biri may be a postexilic name for the same place, used by Ezra as the writer of the Chronicles. Some evidence of the name may remain in that of Jebel el-Biri, about twenty-five miles (40 kilometers) SW of Beer-sheba.—See BETH-LEBAOTH.
