bē´ẽr ( בּאר , be'ēr ; φρέαρ , phréar ; Latin puteus = "well"):

(1) A station on the march of the Israelites to the North of the Arnon (Numbers 21:16 ). Here it was that they sang round the well this song:

'Spring up O well; greet it with song,

Well, that the princes have dug,

The nobles of the people have bored,

With the scepter - with their staves' (Numbers 21:16 ).

The place is not identified.

(2) The town to which Jotham fled from his brother Abimelech after declaring his parable from Mt. Gerizim (Judges 9:21 ). This may be identical with BEEROTH .
