Archimandrite Nikifor’s Biblical Encyclopedia

(open place)—the name of a person and several places: (1) (2 Sam. 8:3) father of Hadadezer king of Zobah, whom David defeated near the Euphrates; (2) (Neh. 10:11) a Levite who sealed the covenant to remain faithful to God and His Law after the exile; (3) (Num. 13:21) the northern limit reached by the spies, commonly called Beth-rehob; (4) (Josh. 19:28) a city of Asher, apparently east of Sidon; (5) (Josh. 19:30) another place of that name, afterward associated with the Levites, whose location was unknown; and (6) (Judg. 1:31) a city, perhaps the same as the preceding, from which the Canaanites were not expelled.
