Where is Beth-rehob in the Bible?
Beth-rehob was an Aramean city and region located in the far north of Israel, near the modern area of Banias (ancient Panias) in the upper Jordan Valley. It appears in the Bible primarily in Numbers and Judges, where it is identified as the northern limit reached by the Israelite spies during their reconnaissance of Canaan. The city is best known from 2 Samuel 10, where the men of Beth-rehob allied with the Ammonites to fight against King David's forces, resulting in a significant military encounter. Though the exact location remains uncertain, scholars generally identify it with Banias or the nearby region west of Banias in what is now Lebanon, making it one of the northernmost biblical sites associated with Israel's territory.
