BAHURIM

(Heb. baḥûrîm)

A town (modern Khirbet Ibqeʿdan) located on the north side of the road leading from Jerusalem to Jericho, E of the Mount of Olives.

Bahurim figures prominently in the Davidic history. It is the home of Shimei, who abused and cursed David as he was fleeing from Absalom (2 Sam. 16:5; 19:16; 1 Kgs. 2:8), and the location where Abner compelled Paltiel to leave his wife Michal, Saul’s daughter, as she was being returned to David (2 Sam. 3:16). Azmaveth, one of David’s elite military guard, was from Bahurim (2 Sam. 23:31; 1 Chr. 11:33 [MT “Bahurum”]).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
