Gibbethon [1]
gib´e -thon ( גּבּתון , gibbethōn ): A city in the territory of Dan in the plain named with Eltekeh and Baalath ( Joshua 19:44 ), and assigned to the Kohathite Levites ( Joshua 21:23 ). Later we find it in the hands of the Philistines; and it was while besieging the city that Nadab was slain by Baasha ( 1 Kings 15:27 ). After 25 years Omri, the general of Baasha, was here made king of the army when news reached them of Zimri s regicide ( 1 Kings 16:15 ). It may possibly be identified with Kibbiah , which lies about 16 miles Southeast of Jaffa; but no certain identification is possible.
