Back to Treasury of Scripture Knowledge


Back to Judges'


Beer.

Probably the Beer mentioned by Mr. Maundrell, three hours and a half, or about ten miles, north of Jerusalem, towards Shechem.

It is situated toward the south, on an easy declivity; and has a fountain of excellent water at the bottom of the hill, from which it has taken its name.

Close to the well are the mouldering walls of a ruined {khan;} and on the summit of the hill two large arches still remain of a ruined convent.

Dr. Richardson says, that it seems to have been once a place of considerable consequence.
