Judges9:21

21 And Jotham ran away, and fled , and went to Beer , and dwelt there, for fear of Abimelech his brother.

Which he might easily do, having the advantage of the Hill, and other accommodations for flight; and because the people were not forward to pursue a man whom they knew to have such just cause, and great provocation to speak, and so little power to do them any hurt.

A place remote from Shechem, and out of Abimelech's reach▪ There were divers places of that name.
