Beth-marcaboth
Beth-marcaboth
(Heb. Eeyth Markaboth’, , house of chariots, in Chron.; Sept. v. r. ; or with the art. in Josh., Beth- ham-markaboth’, , house of the chariots; Sept. v. r. , and ), one of the towns of Simeon, situated to the extreme south of Judah, with Ziklag and Hormah (Jos 19:5; 1Ch 4:31). What chariots can have been in use in this rough and thinly-inhabited part of the country, at a time so early as that at which these lists of towns purport to have been made out, we know not. At a later period that of Solomon chariot cities are named, and a regular trade with Egypt in chariots was carried on (1Ki 9:19; 2Ch 8:6; 1Ki 10:29; 2Ch 1:17), which would naturally require depots or stopping-places on the road up to Palestine (Stanley, p. 160). In the parallel list, Jos 15:30-31, MADMANNAH SEE MADMANNAH (q.v.) occurs in place of Beth- marcaboth; possibly the latter was substituted for the former after the town had become the resort of chariots. SEE HAZAR-SUSAH.

Beth-Marcaboth
beth-marka-both ( , beth ha-markabhoth; , Baithmachereb, the house of chariots): Mentioned along with Hazar-susah, the station of horses (Jos 19:5; 1Ch 4:31) as cities in the Negeb near Ziklag. It is tempting to connect these stations with the cities for his chariots, and the cities for his horsemen which Solomon built (1Ki 9:19; compare 1Ki 10:26). The site of Beth-marcaboth has not been identified, but Gurin (La Terre Sainte. Jerusalem et le Nord de la Jude, II, 230) suggests Khan Yunas, Southwest of Gaza, as a suitable chariot city.
