Bezek
The place where Saul numbered the forces of Israel and Judah
Where the name appears
Events told in passages that name Bezek, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.
