<p> ''''' gē´bal ''''' - ''''' ı̄ts ''''' ( הגּבלים , <i> ''''' ha ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' gibhlı̄m ''''' </i> ): Inhabitants of [[Gebal]] (which see). According to the present text of Joshua 13:5 , "the land of the Gebalites" was given to [[Israel]] as part of its future territory. But it was never occupied by the Israelites. Septuagint, however, has a very different reading, indicating an early corruption of the text. Perhaps with many modern scholars it is better to read "to the borders of the Gebalites." </p> <p> In 1 Kings 5:18 the King James Version translates this word "stone-squarers," the King James Version margin gives "Giblites," and the Revised Version (British and American) "Gebalites," as workmen who, with the men of [[Solomon]] and of Hiram, fashioned the stones for the temple. Here also the text is doubtful, and some by a slight change would read: "and made a border for them" (i.e. for the stones). In Ezekiel 27:9 the men of [[Gebal]] are described as the "calkers" of the ships of Tyre and Sidon. </p> | 1 Kings 5:18 | ||
