Beth-azmaveth standard

Where is Beth-azmaveth in the Bible?

Beth-azmaveth was a town located in the territory of Benjamin, in the central region of ancient Israel. The place is mentioned in the books of Ezra and Nehemiah as a settlement where some Jewish people lived after returning from the Babylonian exile in the 6th century BC. Though its exact modern location remains uncertain, Beth-azmaveth represented one of the communities that helped repopulate the land of Judah following the return from captivity. The town's mention in postexilic records demonstrates the restoration of Jewish settlements and the gradual rebuilding of the nation after the exile.
