Beth-Haccherem:

beth-ha-ke'-rem, beth-hak'-e-rem (the King James Version Beth-haccerem; beth ha-kerem; Bethachcharma (see DB), "place of the vineyard"): A district (in Ne 3:14) ruled over by one, Malchijah; mentioned in Jer 6:1 as a suitable signal station. From its association with Tekoa (Jer 6:1) and from the statement by Jerome that it was a village which he could see daily from Bethlehem, the Frank mountain (Herodium) has been suggested. It certainly would be a unique place for a beacon. More suitable is the fertile vineyard country around ‘Ain Karem (the "spring of the vineyard"). On the top of Jebel ‘Ali, above this village, are some remarkable cairns which, whatever their other uses, would appear to have been once beacons. ‘Ain Karem appears as Carem in the Septuagint (Jos 15:59).
