Beersheba in 1 Samuel 3
beer-SHEE-buh
This place shows up in 1 Samuel 3:20: “All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh.” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real place in a real place.
1 Samuel 3:20
“All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of Yahweh.”
