<p> Beside which was Absalom's sheep farm, where took place Amnon's murder (2 Samuel 13). Our Lord, when the chief priests plotted to kill Him, retired to "a city called [[Ephraim]] ... a country near to the wilderness" ( John 11:54). "The wilderness" means the hill country N.E. of Jerusalem, between the central towns and the [[Jordan]] valley. Thus, [[Ophrah]] of [[Benjamin]] probably is identical with Ephraim ( 1 Samuel 13:17.) Now Et-Taiyibeh, a village on a conical hill commanding the view of the Jordan valley and the [[Dead]] Sea. </p> | |||

<p> (1) A position apparently of some importance, since the position of Baal-hazor (probably = <i> ''''' Tell ‛Asūr ''''' </i> ) where Abraham's sheep-farm was located, is determined by relation to it ( 2 Samuel 13:23 ). That it lay North of [[Jerusalem]] seems to be indicated in 2 Samuel 13:34 . It may be identical with the Ephraim of Eusebius, <i> Onomasticon </i> , 20 Roman miles North of Jerusalem, and therefore to be sought somewhere in the neighborhood of <i> ''''' Sinjil ''''' </i> and <i> ''''' el ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Lubbān ''''' </i> . Connected with this may have been the name Aphaerema, a district in [[Samaria]] mentioned in 1 Macc 11:34; <i> Ant </i> , Xiii , iv, 9. </p> <p> (2) The town near the wilderness to which Jesus retired after the raising of [[Lazarus]] ( John 11:54 ). This probably corresponds to Ephrem of Eusebius, <i> Onomasticon </i> (s.v. "Afra") 5 Roman miles East of Bethel. This may be the place named along with [[Bethel]] by [[Josephus]] ( <i> BJ </i> , IV, ix, 9). It probably answers to <i> ''''' eṭ ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' Ṭaiyebeh ''''' </i> , a large village about 4 miles North of <i> ''''' Beitı̄n ''''' </i> . The antiquity of the site is attested by the cisterns and rock tombs. It stands on a high hill with a wide outlook including the plains of [[Jericho]] and the Dead Sea. See [[Ephron]] . </p> | |||
