<p> (Heb. id. בֶּזֶק, | <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> | ||
