21. Beth-lehem] or ‘the house of bread’: sometimes called Bethlehem of Judah to distinguish it from the Bethlehem in Zebulon (Jos_19:15). Its name implies the fruitfulness of the soil. The name of Ephrath or Ephratah by which it was known in earlier times has also the meaning of plenty (cf. Gen_35:19; Mic_5:1; Rth_1:2). The story of Ruth lies in Bethlehem. Ibzan the Judge was a native of Bethlehem (Jdg_12:8). Its greatest fame in the O. T. is derived from its having been the birthplace of David (1Sa_17:12) and of the sons of Zeruiah (2Sa_2:32). It was only a village, but the prophet predicted its glory in the Messianic future (Mic_5:1), in words, of which the literal fulfilment is recorded in Mat_2:1 &c.; Luk_2:1 &c.; cf. Joh_7:42.
It is situated about 5 miles S. of Jerusalem on high ground, some 2500 ft. above the level of the sea.
