Be'zek. (lightning).

1. The residence of Adonibezek, Judges 1:6, in the lot of Judah. Compare Judges 1:3.

2. Where Saul numbered the forces of Israel and Judah, before going to the relief of Jabesh-gilead. 1 Samuel 11:8 This was, doubtless, somewhere in the centre of the country, near the Jordan valley. No identification of either place has been made, in modern times.
