1. A station of the Israelites when they drew near the Land, so called because of a well (which the word signifies) being sunk there, from which God gave them water. They sang -

The princes digged the well,

The nobles of the people digged it

By the direction of the lawgiver, with their staves."

Numbers 21:16-18 . Probably the same as BEER-ELIM of Isaiah 15:8 .

2. Place to which Jotham fled for fear of his brother Abimelech. Judges 9:21 . Its position unknown.
