Well Of Sirah [1]
sı̄´ra ( הסּרה בּור , bōr haṣirāh , "the pit," "well" or "cistern of Sarah"): The spot from which Abner was enticed back to Hebron to his death ( 2 Samuel 3:26 ). Josephus ( Ant. , VII, i, 5) calls it Βη ( ρ Ο2 ρπ ) σιρά , Bē ( r ) sirá , implying that it was a "well." It is possible that this spot is now ‛Ain Sārah , a spring which flows into a little tank near the west side of the road about a mile out of ancient Hebron, on the way to Jerusalem. There is, however, a curious cistern with steps known as Ḥamam Sarah ("Sarah's bath") near Ramet el - Khalı̂l , which is also possibly the site ( PEF , 314, Sh Xxi ).
