Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּחוּר (bachur), meaning "young man" or "choice."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bachurim, as it is a proper noun specific to a location in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of "young men" or "choice ones" can be related to Greek terms such as νεανίας (neanias, Strong's Greek 3495) meaning "young man." Usage: Bachurim is used in the Hebrew Bible as the name of a village or location in the territory of Benjamin. It is mentioned in the context of several narratives involving King David. Context: Bachurim is a village located in the tribal territory of Benjamin, mentioned in the Old Testament. It is notably referenced in the narrative of King David's flight from Jerusalem during Absalom's rebellion. In 2 Samuel 16:5, Shimei, a man from the house of Saul, comes out from Bachurim to curse David as he flees. The village is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 17:18, where Jonathan and Ahimaaz hide in a well at Bachurim to avoid capture by Absalom's men. Additionally, in 2 Samuel 3:16, Bachurim is the place from which Paltiel, son of Laish, follows his wife Michal, who is being taken back to David. The location of Bachurim is not precisely known today, but it is believed to have been situated near the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem.
