Easton's Bible Dictionary

sheep-house, a place to which the Israelites pursued the Philistines west from Mizpeh (1Sa 7:11).

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Beth-Car:

the house of the lamb

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Beth-Car:

beth'-kar (beth-kar; Baithchor, Belchor): "And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, Until they came under Beth-car" (1Sa 7:11). ‘Ain Karem has been suggested; if Mizpah is nebi Samwil then this identification is probable, as the pursuit would be along the deep Wady beit Hannineh-a natural line of retreat for the Philistines to take.

Nave's Topical Bible

Beth-Car: A Place West of Mizpeh

1Sa 7:11

Beth-Haccherem:

beth-ha-ke'-rem, beth-hak'-e-rem (the King James Version Beth-haccerem; beth ha-kerem; Bethachcharma (see DB), "place of the vineyard"): A district (in Ne 3:14) ruled over by one, Malchijah; mentioned in Jer 6:1 as a suitable signal station. From its association with Tekoa (Jer 6:1) and from the statement by Jerome that it was a village which he could see daily from Bethlehem, the Frank mountain (Herodium) has been suggested. It certainly would be a unique place for a beacon. More suitable is the fertile vineyard country around ‘Ain Karem (the "spring of the vineyard"). On the top of Jebel ‘Ali, above this village, are some remarkable cairns which, whatever their other uses, would appear to have been once beacons. ‘Ain Karem appears as Carem in the Septuagint (Jos 15:59).
