Usage: Bithron is mentioned in the context of a region or area in the biblical narrative. It appears in the Old Testament in 2 Samuel 2:29. Context: Bithron is a region mentioned in the account of the conflict between the forces of Abner and Joab. In 2 Samuel 2:29, it is described as a location that Abner and his men passed through during their retreat from the battle at Gibeon. The passage reads: "All that night Abner and his men marched through the Arabah. They crossed the Jordan, continued all morning, and came to Mahanaim." The term "Bithron" is understood to refer to a rugged or divided terrain, possibly a gorge or valley, which they traversed. The exact location of Bithron is not definitively known, but it is believed to be east of the Jordan River, possibly in the region of Gilead. The name itself suggests a landscape characterized by natural divisions or clefts, aligning with the root meaning of "to cut" or "to divide."
