Bithron
Bithron
(more accurately “the Bithron,” Heb. hab-Bithron’, , the broken or dividedplace, from ), to cut up; Sept. ; Vulg. Bethboron), a place-from the form of the expression, ” all the Bithron,” doubtless a district-in the Arabah or Jordan valley, on the east side of the river (2Sa 2:29). The spot at which Abner’s party crossed the Jordan not being specified, we cannot fix the position of the Bithron, which lay between that ford and Mahanaim. So far as we know, the whole of the country in the Ghor, on the other side of the river, is of the broken and intersected character indicated by the derivation of the, name. It appears, therefore, to be the designation of that region in general rather than of any specific locality. SEE BETHER.

Bithron
bithron (, ha-bithron; , holen ten paratenousan, literally the entire (land) extending; 2Sa 2:29, the Bithron, i.e. the gorge or groove): Does not seem to be a proper name; rather it indicates the gorge by which Abner approached Mahanaim. Buhl (GAP, 121) favors identification with Wady Ajlun, along which in later times a Rom road connected Ajlun and Mahanaim. Others (Guthe, Kurz. bib. Wrterbuch, under the word) incline to Wady esh Shab.
