Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]
BERITES or BERIM. A clan mentioned with Abel and Beth-Maachah in N. Palestine, visited by Joab in pursuing Sheba, son of Bichri ( 2 Samuel 20:14), "all the Berites." They followed him at his call.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
People in the north of Palestine, possibly the descendants of Beri. 2 Samuel 20:14 .
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [4]
bē´rı̄ts ( בּרים , bērı̄m ; according to Klostermann and others, בּכרים , bikhrı̄m ): The word is found only once in the Old Testament ( 2 Samuel 20:14 ). The passage seems to be doubtful. The suggestion of Klostermann does not improve matters any; the other proposed reading, בּחרים , baḥūrı̄m (Vulgate, viri electi ), "choice young men," is to be preferred.
