bō´kim ( הבּכים , ha - bōkhı̄m ̌ : A place on the mountain West of Gilgal said to have been so named (literally "the weepers") because Israel wept there at the remonstrance of the angel ( Judges 2:1 , Judges 2:5 ). No name resembling this has been discovered. Given on the occasion mentioned, it may not have endured. Many, following Septuagint, identify it with Bethel.
