BETH-ANOTH

beth-a'-noth (beth`anoth; Baithanam, probably "House of Anath"--a god; Joshua 15:59):

The ruin of Beit `Ainun, 1 1/2 miles Southeast of Halhul, in the neighborhood also of Bethzur and Gedor--places mentioned in association with it as towns in the hill country of Judah--appears to be a probable site. The present surface ruins belong to later ages.
