Beer [1]
bē´ẽr ( בּאר , be'ēr ; φρέαρ , phréar ; Latin puteus = "well"):
(1) A station on the march of the Israelites to the North of the Arnon ( Numbers 21:16 ). Here it was that they sang round the well this song:
'Spring up O well; greet it with song,
Well, that the princes have dug,
The nobles of the people have bored,
With the scepter - with their staves' ( Numbers 21:16 ).
The place is not identified.
(2) The town to which Jotham fled from his brother Abimelech after declaring his parable from Mt. Gerizim ( Judges 9:21 ). This may be identical with Beeroth .
