beth´kar ( בּית־כּר , bēth -kār ; Βαιθχόρ , Baithchór , Βελχόρ , Belchór ): "And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, Until they came under Beth-car" (1 Samuel 7:11 ). ‛Ain Kārem has been suggested; if Mizpah is nebi Samwı̂l then this identification is probable, as the pursuit would be along the deep Wady beit Hannı̂neh - a natural line of retreat for the Philistines to take. See BETH-HACCHEREM .
