Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Berothiy" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location and its inhabitants.

Usage: The term "Berothiy" refers to an inhabitant of Beeroth, a city of the Gibeonites. It is used to identify individuals from this location, particularly in the context of King David's reign.

Cultural and Historical Background: Beeroth was one of the four cities of the Hivites that made a treaty with Joshua and the Israelites (Joshua 9:17). The Gibeonites, including the Beerothites, were spared from destruction due to their cunning treaty with Israel. Beeroth was later incorporated into the territory of the tribe of Benjamin (Joshua 18:25). The Beerothites are mentioned in the context of the political and military events during King David's time, indicating their continued presence and influence in Israel.
