two places in Scripture distinguished as the Upper and Nether Beth-horon. Dr E. D. Clarke recognised the former in the village of Beit-Ur, which lies twelve Roman miles N.W. of Jerusalem. The Lower Beit-Ur is separated by a narrow valley from the foot of the mountain upon which the Upper Beit-Ur stands. Both these villages are inhabited, and exhibit traces of ancient walls and foundations. They are still distinguished as the Upper and Lower Beit-Ur. (Clarke's Travels, vol. i. part ii. p. 628.)
