Meaning “watchtower.” Modern archeologists are divided as to the location of Mizpeh (Mizpah) of Benjamin. Robinson (1856) supported the location of Mizpeh at Nebī-Samwîl, an elevation of 2,904 ft. (885 m.) overlooking Jerusalem, and 4 3/8 mi. (7 km.) southwest of Tell en-Naṣbeh. On the other hand, William F. Badé and his associates hold Tell en-Naṣbeh, which they excavated, to be Mizpeh. Tell en-Naṣbeh is 7 1/2 mi. (12 km.) north of Jerusalem on the main highway to Samaria and Galilee. It is north of Ramah and Gibeah and south of Beeroth.

 Like Beeroth, one of the four cities depending upon Gibeon (ch. 9:17), situated in the neighborhood of Gibeon, northwest of Jerusalem.
