Berothah

Berothah, called Berothai in Samuel, was a town belonging to Hadadezer, king of Zobah, from which David took a great quantity of bronze after defeating him (2 Sam. 8:8). Ezekiel later names it, alongside Hamath and Damascus, as a marker on the northern boundary of the land in his vision of Israel's restoration (Ezek. 47:16). It probably lay between Damascus and Hamath, and should not be confused with the coastal city of Beirut, which some have wrongly equated with it.
