Beth-arbel signifies the House of the ensnaring god, 1the god of Policy, and Subtlety, it seems the people that called this City by this Name, they had a god that they honoured for the god of Subtlety, that would ensnare all their enemies they thought,2 and so they trusted in this god. And upon that called the City Beth-arbel, the house of the Ensnaring god. But now this would not do, the more they sought by subtlety to undermine their Enemies, the more were their Enemies enraged, and therefore when they came upon them they spoiled them, and dashed the Mother upon her own Children.
