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

Usage: The term "Beerothi" refers to an inhabitant of Beeroth, one of the cities of the Gibeonite confederation. It is used to identify individuals from this location, particularly in the context of genealogies and historical narratives.

Cultural and Historical Background: Beeroth was one of the four cities of the Hivites that made a treaty with Joshua and the Israelites by deception (Joshua 9:3-15). The Gibeonites, including the Beerothites, became servants to the Israelites, fulfilling roles such as woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and the altar of the LORD. Beeroth is located in the territory of Benjamin, near the border of Ephraim, and its inhabitants were integrated into the Israelite community over time.
