JDG 1:4 · JDG 1:5 · 1SA 11:8

1 1SA 11:8 Some distinguish this town from the other, identifying it as Khirbet Ibzek, north of Shechem, and the one mentioned in JDG 1:4,5 as Khirbet Bezka, north of Jerusalem. But it is probable that there was only one town with this name, to be identified with Khirbet Bezka (Schearing, NIDB 1: 452).
