BETH-ANATH bĕth ā’ năth (בֵּית־עֲנָ֖ת; LXX A Βαιθαναθ; B Βαιθθαμε; house of Anath). A fortified city assigned to Naphtali (Josh 19:38). Instead of fulfilling the Deuteronomic command to massacre the original inhabitants, Naphtali enslaved them (Judg 1:33). The city figures in several Egyp. inscrs. (Y. Aharoni, The Land of the Bible, index), possibly Safed el-Baṭṭikh?
