Beth-horon

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(cave-house). A town of Benjamin ({vi 6269;6271}Josh. 16:3,5; 1 Kings 9:17; 1 Chron. 7:24).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Two towns called the “upper” and the “nether,” though also spoken of as one, on the boundary between Benjamin and Ephraim. They were allotted to Ephraim, and given to the Kohathites. The district is memorable as where Joshua conquered the Amorites, and near which God smote them with hailstones ({vi 6075-6076}Josh. 10:10-11; {vi 6269;6271}Josh. 16:3, 5; {vi 6307-6308}Josh. 18:13-14; Josh. 21:22; 1 Sam. 13:18). In 1 Chronicles 7:24 these towns are said to have been built by Sherah, apparently the grand-daughter of Ephraim. Solomon also built or rebuilt them (1 Kings 9:17; 2 Chron. 8:5).
It was near these cities that Judas Maccabaeus won his victory over Seron; and here that the Roman Cestius Gallus was signally defeated. The places are still called upper, el Foka, and lower, et Tahta, with the general name of Beit Ur, 31° 53’ and 54’ N, 35° 6’ and 5’ E.
