Strong's Lexicon Besor: Besor Original Word: בְּשׂוֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "cheerful" or "glad" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Besor, as it is a specific geographical location mentioned only in the Old Testament. Usage: Besor is a proper noun referring to a brook or ravine in the southern part of ancient Israel. It is most notably mentioned in the context of King David's pursuit of the Amalekites. Cultural and Historical Background: The Brook Besor is located in the Negev region, which is a desert area in the southern part of modern-day Israel. In biblical times, this area was sparsely populated and often served as a boundary or a place of refuge. The brook itself would have been a vital water source in the arid landscape, providing sustenance for travelers and their animals.
