Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: בַּיִת (bayith, meaning "house") and אַרְבֵּאל (Arbel, a proper name).Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Beth-Arbel, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Beth-Arbel is mentioned in the context of a historical event in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Hosea. Context: Beth-Arbel is referenced in Hosea 10:14, where it is described as a site of a devastating military defeat. The passage reads: "the roar of battle will rise against your people, so that all your fortresses will be devastated—as Shalman devastated Beth-Arbel on the day of battle, when mothers were dashed to pieces with their children." This verse suggests that Beth-Arbel was a location known for a significant and brutal conflict, possibly involving the Assyrian king Shalmaneser. The exact historical and geographical details of Beth-Arbel are not definitively known, and its precise location remains uncertain. Some scholars propose that it may have been situated in the region of Galilee or Transjordan, but these identifications are speculative. The mention of Beth-Arbel in Hosea serves as a warning to Israel of impending judgment and destruction due to their unfaithfulness.
