<p> ( '''''Ἀκκαβά''''' '','' prob. i. q. ''Agzbus),'' one of the temple servants, whose "sons" returned from [[Babylon]] ( 1 [[Esdras]] 5:30), evidently the [[Hagab]] (q.v.) of the genuine text ( Ezra 2:46). </p> <p> ( '''''῎Αγαβα''''' ), a fortress near Jerusalem, which Galesius, its governor, restored to Aristobulus, the son of [[Alexander]] Jannaeus (Josephus, Ant. 13, 24, 5). The place cannot well be identified on account of the various readings (see [[Hudson]] '''''’''''' s ed. 1, 602, note), one of which ( '''''Γαβαθά''''' ) even seems to identify it with GABBATHA (See [[Gabbatha]]) (q.v.). It was perhaps the eminence of GIBEAH (See [[Gibeah]]) (q.v.). </p> | |||
