2 Samuel 2:29
◄  2 Samuel 2:29  ►
And Abner and his men walked all that night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, and went through all Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim.

Bithron. Bithron or Bether is probably the same as {Betarus} which is placed in the Antonine Itinerary between Caesarea of Palestine and Diospolis of Lydda,

18 miles from the former, and

2 Samuel 2:22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn you aside from following me: why should I smite you to the ground?...

from the latter. The Jerusalem Itinerary mentions a place called {Bethar},

16 miles from Caesarea, and

2 Samuel 2:20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said, Are you Asahel? And he answered, I am.

from Diospolis, which is probably the same. The Talmudists say that it was four miles distant from the sea.

Songs 2:17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be you like a roe or a young hart on the mountains of Bether.

Bether
Mahanaim

2 Samuel 2:12 And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
