Beth-haccerem: House of a vineyard, a place in the tribe of Judah
(Nehemiah 3:14) where the
Benjamites were to set up a beacon when they heard the trumpet
against the invading army of the Babylonians
(Jeremiah 6:1) It is probable
that this place is the modern 'Ain Karim, or "well of the vineyards,"
near which there is a ridge on which are cairns which may have served
as beacons of old, one of which is 40 feet high and 130 in diameter.
