Easton's Bible Dictionary

Bochim:

weepers, a place where the angel of the Lord reproved the Israelites for entering into a league with the people of the land. This caused them bitterly to weep, and hence the name of the place (Jdg 2:1,5). It lay probably at the head of one of the valleys between Gilgal and Shiloh.

Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary

Bochim:

the place of weeping; or of mulberry-trees

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Bochim:

bo'-kim (ha-bokhim): A place on the mountain West of Gilgal said to have been so named (literally "the weepers") because Israel wept there at the remonstrance of the angel (Jud 2:1,5). No name resembling this has been discovered. Given on the occasion mentioned, it may not have endured. Many, following Septuagint, identify it with Bethel.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Bochim:

(the weepers). a place on the west of Jordan, above Gilgal; so named from the weeping of Israel (Judges 2:1; 2:6).
