Beth-Lebaoth

BETH-LEBAOTH bĕth’ lĭ bā’ ŏth (בֵּ֥ית לְבָאֹ֖ות, LXX B Βαθαρωθ; A Βαιθλαβαθ; house of lionesses). A city assigned to Simeon within the borders of Judah (Josh 19:6). It is prob. the same as Lebaoth (15:32), which is thought to be identical with Beth-biri (1 Chron 4:31). The last name is prob. preserved in Jebel el-Biri in the Negeb.
