BEER

(Heb. bĕʾēr)

1. A camp place (“well”) in Transjordan used by Israelites before they marched to Mattanah (Num. 21:16), associated with the well dug by princes and nobles celebrated in the Song of the Well (v. 18). Most scholars agree that the site should be found in northeastern Moab in the Wadi eth-Themed, where adequate water for a large number of people can easily be attained close to the surface. This is probably the same place as Beer-elim (Isa. 15:8).

2. The place to which Jotham fled from his brother Abimelech (Judg. 9:21). It is perhaps to be identified with el-Bireh, E of Mt. Tabor.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
