<p> <strong> BEZEK </strong> . Two places so called are perhaps to be distinguished in OT. <strong> 1 </strong> . Judges 1:5 . A place attacked by [[Judah]] after Joshua’s death, probably <em> Bezkah </em> , a ruin W. of Jerusalem, in the lower hills. <strong> 2 </strong> . 1 Samuel 11:8 , where Saul gathered [[Israel]] before advancing on Jahesh-gilead The most likely site in this connexion is the ruin <em> Ibzik </em> , N.E. of Shechem, opposite Jabesh. </p> | |||

Where Saul numbered the forces of [[Israel]] and Judah, before going to the relief of Jabesh-gilead. 1 Samuel 11:8 This was, doubtless, somewhere in the centre of the country, near the [[Jordan]] valley.

<p> Be´zek, a city over which Adoni-bezek was king ( Judges 1:4, sq.), and where Saul mustered his army to march to the relief of [[Jabesh-Gilead]] ( 1 Samuel 11:8). [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] mention two towns of this name close together, seventeen miles from [[Neapolis]] in Shechem, on the road to Bethshan. </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> <p> </p> | |||

<p> (Heb. id. בֶּזֶק, lightning; Sept. Βέζεκ and Βεζέκ ), the name apparently of two places in Palestine. </p> <p> 1. The residence of Adoni-bezek, i.e. the "lord of Bezek" ( Judges 1:5), in the "lot ( גֹּרָל ) of Judah" ( Judges 1:3), and inhabited by [[Canaanites]] and Perizzites ( Judges 1:4). This must have been in the mountains ("up"), not far from [[Jerusalem]] ( Judges 1:7); possibly on the eminence near Deir el-Ghafr, marked by Van de Velde ( Map) at four miles S.W. of [[Bethlehem]] (comp. Robinson, Researches, 2, 337, 338). Sand ( Itiner. p. 182) mentions a village [[Bezek]] two miles west of the site of Beth-zur, but this lacks confirmation. Others propose other identifications, even the [[Bezetha]] on the north of Jerusalem. (See [[Bezeth]]). </p> <p> 2. The rendezvous where Saul numbered the forces of [[Israel]] and [[Judah]] before going to the relief of Jabesh-gilead ( 1 Samuel 11:8). From the terms of the narrative this cannot have been more than a day's march from Jabesh, and was therefore doubtless somewhere in the center of the country, near the [[Jordan]] valley. In accordance with this is the mention by [[Eusebius]] and [[Jerome]] ( Onomast. s.v. Βεζέκ, Bezech) of two places of this name seventeen miles from Neapplis (Shechem), on the road to Beth- shean. This would place it at Khulat-Maleh, on the descent to the Jordan, near Succoth. The Sept. inserts ἐν Βαμά after the name, possibly alluding to some "high place" at which this solemn muster took place. This [[Josephus]] gives as Bala ( Βαλά, Ant. 6, 5, 3). Schwarz ( Palest. p. 158) says that "Bezek is the modern village Azbik, five English miles south of Beth- shean;' but no other traveler speaks of such a name. </p> <p> Bezek (ADDENDUM FROM VOLUME 11) </p> <p> 1. ( Judges 1:5.) This is thought by Lieut. Conder ( Tent-work, 2, 335; Quar. Statement of the " Pal. Explor. Fund," 1881, p. 50) to be the ruined site Bezkah, "south of Lydda," but the Ordnance Map contains no such name in that immediate vicinity. </p> <p> 2. ( 1 Samuel 11:8.) This has been fully recovered by Lieut. Conder ( ibid.) in the ruined site, with graves and cisterns, laid down on the Ordnance Map as Khirbet Izbik, nine miles west of the Jordan and eleven miles southwest of Beisan. </p> | |||
