It was reputed of special sanctity. We find the ark at Beth-el (Jdg 20:18<\/span>; Jdg 20:26-27<\/span>). It was included in Samuel’s circuit (1Sa 7:16<\/span>). It was the home of one of ‘the schools of the prophets’ (2Ki 2:3<\/span>). It was selected by Jeroboam as the southern sanctuary for the calf-worship which he instituted (1Ki 12:28<\/span> &c.). Thenceforth its name chiefly occurs in connexion with the sins of idolatry (Amo 3:14<\/span>; 2Ki 23:15<\/span>).<\/p>\n It is about 2 miles N.E. of Beeroth. Its site is generally identified with the extensive ruins of Beitin.<\/p>\n Ai<\/em> ] E. of Beth-el (Gen 12:8<\/span>; Jos 7:2<\/span>), an ancient royal town (Jos 12:9<\/span>) destroyed by Joshua (Joshua 7, 8<\/span>), but afterwards rebuilt. It is called Aiath in Isa 10:28<\/span>, in which passage its position shows that it lay to the N. of Michmash. In Neh 11:31<\/span> it appears as Aija. The name denotes ‘ruinous heaps’ and thus corresponds with Tell-el-ajar<\/em> (‘mound of stones’), a place about 2 miles S. E. of Bethel, on the S. side of the Wadi-el-Mat-y, from which the path leads through the hills to Jericho. In the Pal. Expl. map it is identified with Khan Haiyan<\/em>, 2570 ft. high, E. of Beeroth, and S. of Dr Diwn<\/em>.<\/p>\n [See comments on Ezr 2:3]<\/span>.<\/p>\n Ai: Gen 12:8, Hai.
