Pirathon
Pirathon was an ancient town mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. While some scholars speculate on its likely location, its exact whereabouts are not known. However, it is known that the town was located in modern Israel, in the area once held by the Israelite tribe of Ephraim..
Brenton translates as Pharathon in his version of the Septuagint.
The town is notable as the home of Hillel, father of Abdon, one of the judges of early Israel, and because Benaiah, one of King David's captains, originated there.
