BETH-ZAITH

(Gk. Bēthzaíth, Bēzéth)

The place to which Bacchides withdrew and where he slaughtered many of the Jews who had deserted him (1 Macc. 7:19; cf. Heb. zayi, "house of olive”). It has been identified with Khirbet Beit Zita (161114), ca. 6 km. (4 mi.) N of Beth-zur; a nearby cistern is said to be the great pit into which the general threw the murdered Jews.

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.
