Beth-haccerem
(Heb. Beyth hak-Ke’rem, , house of the vineyard; Sept.
[v. r.’ , ] and
[v. r. , ]), a place in the tribe of Judah, not far from Jerusalem (Neh 3:14), where the children of Benjamin were to set up a beacon when they blew the trumpet of warning at Tekoa against the invading army of Babylonians (Jer 6:1). From the notice in Nehemiah, it appears that the town, like a few other places, was distinguished by the application to it of the word pelek (, Auth. Ver. part), and that it had then a ruler (). According to Jerome (Comment. in loc. Jer.), there was a village called Bethacharma, situated on a mountain between Jerusalem and Tekoa. The name also occurs in the Talmud (Nidda 2, 7; Middoth. 3, 4) as belonging to a valley containing a quarry. Hence Pococke (East, 2, 42) suggests that this was the fortress Herodium ( or ), founded by Herod the Great (Josephus, Ant. 16, 2, 1; War, 1, 13, 8; 21, 10), and where he died (Josephus, Ant. 17, 8, 3), being 200 stadia from Jericho (Josephus, War, 1, 33, 8; comp. 3, 3, 5), and identical with the modern Frank Mountain, or Jebel Fureidis (Wolcott, in the Bibliotheca Sacra, 1843, p. 69, 70); but this is denied by Robinson (Researches, 2, 174), although affirmed by Wilson (Lands of Bible, 1, 396), Bonar (Mission to Jews, p. 247), Stanley .(Sinai and Palest. p. 163, 164), and Van de Velde (Narrative, 2, 39). SEE HERODIUM.
Beth-haccerem
(i.e. Beth-Kerem) appears also to be identical with CAREM SEE CAREM (q.v.), one of the towns added in the Sept. to the Hebrew text of Jos 15:59, as in the mountains of Judah, in the district of Bethlehem.

Beth-haccerem
house of a vineyard, a place in the tribe of Judah (Neh. 3:14) where the Benjamites were to set up a beacon when they heard the trumpet against the invading army of the Babylonians (Jer. 6:1). It is probable that this place is the modern ‘Ain Karim, or “well of the vineyards,” near which there is a ridge on which are cairns which may have served as beacons of old, one of which is 40 feet high and 130 in diameter.
