Beersheba

The well at Beersheba. The meaning of Beersheba is "well of oath" (Genesis 21:31). It marked the southern border of Judah, and therefore, of Israel ("from Dan to Beersheba" - Judges 20; 1 Sam. 3:20; 2 Sam 3:10; etc.). Today it is the capital of the Negev.
Inside the city gates of Beersheba. Here the elders would sit and give counsel.
