International variances excluded, behemoth is "bee-HEE-muth". Unless it's a really BIG moth! The formal British English pronunciation is different. It is BEE'-huh-moth, with the accent on the BEE and the second syllable is huh instead of HEE and moth instead of muth. It sounds like a tomato /tomahto kind of thing.
