Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And he called it Shebah: therefore the name of the city is Beersheba unto this day.

Shebah. i.e., an oath. therefore. 21:31

Beer-sheba. i.e., the well of the oath. 28 This may have been the same city which was called Beer-sheba a hundred years before this, in the time of Abraham; but as the well, from which it had its name originally, was closed up by the Philistines, the name of the place might have been abolished with the well; when, therefore, Isaac re-opened it, he restored the ancient name of the place.
