PIRATHON, PIRATHONITE.Pirathon in the land of Ephraim was the home of Abdon the Pirathonlte (Jdg 12:13; Jdg 12:15), and of Benaiah, one of Davids heroes (2Sa 23:30 etc.). It can hardly have been identical with Parathon (wh. see), but it is probably represented by either Feron or Ferata.<\/p>\n

pira-thon, pira-thon-t (, pirathon, , pirathon; Codex Vaticanus , Pharathom; Codex Alexandrinus , Phraathom, , Pharathunetes): The home of Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite (Jdg 12:13 ff the King James Version), where also he was buried, in the land of Ephraim in the mount of the Amalekites. The latter name may have clung to a district which at some former time had been held by the Amalekites. From this town also came Benaiah, one of David’s chief captains (2Sa 23:30; 1Ch 11:31; 1Ch 27:14). It is probably to be identified with Ferata, about 6 miles Southwest of Nablus. A possible rival is Firon, 15 miles West of Nablus. G.A. Smith suggests a position at the head of Wady Farah (HGHL, 355). Moore thinks it may have been in Benjamin, Abdon being a Benjamite family (1Ch 8:23, 1Ch 8:30; 1Ch 9:36). It is just possible that the place may be identical with Pharathon, one of the towns fortified by Bacchides (1 Macc 9:50).<\/p>\n
