Berothai Berothah

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

Berothah, Berothai . A city of Syria, despoiled by David (  2 Samuel 8:8 ), and named by Ezekiel as a limiting point in his ideal restoration of the kingdom (  Ezekiel 47:16 ). Ezekiel places it between Hamath and Damascus; the site is otherwise unknown. In   1 Chronicles 18:8 , which is parallel to   2 Samuel 8:8 , for Berothai is substituted Cun. [Berothite in   1 Chronicles 11:39 is obviously meant for Beerothite . See Beeroth].

R. A. S. Macalister.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary [2]

A Syrian town, conquered by David,  2 Samuel 8:8;  1 Chronicles 18:8;  Ezekiel 47:16 . Some find it in the modern Beyrout; but aside from the similarity of the name, the indications point to an inland site, nearer Hamath or Damascus.
