Joshua 15:10 And it compasseth from Baala westward, unto Mount Seir: and passeth by the side of Mount Jarim to the north into Cheslon: and goeth down into Bethsames, and passeth into Thamna.

Bethsames, "the house of the sun," was at the same distance, westward. Here the sight of the ark proved so fatal to 50,070 of the inhabitants, 1 Kings 6:19. (Calmet)
