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].

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.
