Smith's Bible Dictionary [1]
Bero'thah. (Toward The Wells). and Bero'-tha-i. (My Wells). The first of these two names, Berothah, is given by Ezekiel, Ezekiel 47:16, in connection with Hahlath and Damascus as forming part of the northern boundary of the Promised Land. The second of these two names, Berothai, is mentioned, 2 Samuel 8:8, in the same connection. The well-known city Beirut (Berytus), naturally suggests itself as identical with one at least of the names; but in each instance, the circumstances of the case seem to require a position farther east. They were probably in the vicinity of the springs near the present Hasbeya.

bē̇ - rō´tha ( Ezekiel 47:16 : בּרותה , bērōthāh ; Septuagint Codex Vaticanus, Ἀβθηρά , Abthērá ; or Berothai 2 Samuel 8:8; בּרתי , bērōthai , where for מבּרתי rof ere , mibbērōthai Septuagint reads ek tō̇n eklektō̇n póleōn , "from the select cities"): Probably two forms of the same name. Ezekiel 47:16 places it on the ideal northern frontier of Israel, between Damascus and Hamath. According to 2 Samuel 8:8 it was a city of Hadadezer, king of Zobah. In the parallel passage ( 1 Chronicles 18:8 ) Cun is given in place of Berothai. Its site is unknown. Ewald connected it with Beirût (so also apparently H. P. Smith, ICC , "Samuel," 307), but Ezekiel's description excludes this view. Others have sought it in the Wady Brissa, in the East slope of Lebanon, North of Baalbec. A more plausible conjecture identifies it with Bereitān ( Brithēn ), a village somewhat South of Baalbec (Baedeker, Pal 3, 369). Possibly, however, the ideal northern frontier line should be drawn farther south. See Hethlon; Zedad; Zobah .

(Heb, id. בֵּרוֹתָה , as if meaning " To Beroth, " or Toward The Wells; Sept. in most copies has a mass of undistinguishable names, but some read Βηρωθά or Βηρωθάμ ; Vulg. Berotha ).
