Context: The term "Berothite" refers to a person from Beeroth, one of the four cities of the Hivites that made a treaty with Joshua (Joshua 9:17). Beeroth is mentioned in the context of the Gibeonite deception, where the inhabitants tricked the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them. The city is later listed among the towns of Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). In the narrative of 2 Samuel, two individuals, Baanah and Rechab, are identified as sons of Rimmon the Beerothite (2 Samuel 4:2-3). These men were captains in the army of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul, and are infamous for assassinating Ish-bosheth. The mention of Beeroth in these passages highlights its association with the tribe of Benjamin and its historical significance during the early monarchy period in Israel.
