Joshua 18:12
The wilderness of Beth-aven - This was the same as Beth-el; but this name was not given to it till Jeroboam had fixed one of his golden calves there. Its first name signifies the house of God; its second, the house of iniquity.
10 Then Joshua cast alots for them in Shiloh before the Lord, and there bJoshua divided the land to the children of Israel according to their1 divisions.
The Land of Benjamin
11 aNow the lot of the tribe of the children of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot came out between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.
12 aTheir border on the north side began at the Jordan, and the border went up to the side of Jericho on the north, and went up through the mountains westward; it ended at the Wilderness of Beth Aven.
13 The border went over from there toward Luz, to the side of Luz a(which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that lies on the south side bof Lower Beth Horon.
14 Then the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at aKirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the children of Judah. This was the west side.
