Betomestham
Betomestham
(, Jdt 4:6), a place mentioned only in the apocryphal book of Judith, as a town over against Esdraelon, facing the plain that is near Dothaim (Jdt 4:6), and in the vicinity of Bebai, Chobai, and Cola, in the coasts of Israel (15:4). From the manner of its mention, it would seem to have been of equal importance with Bethulia (q.v.) itself, but it is doubtful whether it indicates any historical locality whatever. SEE JUDITH.
