Bete ) , a city belonging to Hadadezer, king of Zobah, mentioned with Berothai as having yielded much spoil of brass to David ( 2 Samuel 8:8). In the parallel account ( 1 Chronicles 18:8) the name is called, by an inverson of letters, TIBHATH (See Tibhath) (q.v.). Ewald (Gesch. 2, 195) pronounces the latter to be the correct reading, and compares it with Tebah ( Genesis 22:24). — Smith, s.v.
