Beer-sheba means "Well of the Oath" (or Well of Seven), once being the location of a well(Genesis 26:23-25), and later a city that came to stand for the southernmost point in the Promised Land(Judges 20:1)(1Chronicles 21:2; 2Chronicles 30:5)(2Kings 23:8)(2Chronicles 19:4)(Nehemiah 11:27, 30) though there were other smaller towns below it. During the period of the kings it is believed by many historians that Beer-sheba was called Tell es-Saba‛ (Tel Be'er Sheva‛), which is two and a half miles from present day Be'er Sheva‛.

Was John prophesied in the Old Testament?

There is no book by the name of John in the Old Testament, nor is the name John mentioned in the Old Testament. The name John is a Greek name that comes from a Hebrew name. The Greek is Ἰωάννης which is pronounced ee-o-an'-nace and the Hebrew name it comes from is יוחנן which is pronounced yo-khaw-nawn'. So it is possible that the Hebrew equivalent of the name John does exist in the Old Testament.
