<p> ("lofty place".) A town allotted to [[Dan]] (Joshua 19:44), afterwards to the [[Kohathite]] [[Levites]] (Joshua 21:23). As bordering on the Philistines, it was soon seized by them, probably when [[Jeroboam]] drove all the Levites from northern [[Israel]] to Judah. [[Nadab]] with all Israel, and afterward Omri, besieged it (1 Kings 15:27; 1 Kings 16:17). [[Baasha]] smote Nadab there. </p> | |||

<p> <strong> GIBBETHON </strong> (‘mound,’ ‘height’). A town belonging to the tribe of Dan, and a [[Levitical]] city ( Joshua 19:44; Joshua 21:23 ). Nadab, king of Israel, was besieging it when he was slain by Baasha; and [[Omri]] was similarly engaged when he was made king by the army ( 1 Kings 15:27; 1 Kings 16:16-17 ). It is possibly the modern <em> Kibbiah </em> , to the N.E. of Lydda. </p> | |||

<p> (Hebrew Gibbethon', גִּבִַּתוֹן a height; Sept. Γαβαθών v.r. Γαβεθών, Γαβαων, Γεθεδάν and Βεγεθων ), a city of the Philistines, which was included in thee territories of the tribe of [[Dan]] (Joshua 19:44), and was assigned, with its "suburbs," to the Kohatbite [[Levites]] (Joshua 21:23). It was still in the hands of the [[Philistines]] in the time of [[Nadab]] king of Israel, who besieged it, and was slain under its walls by Baasha, one of his own officers (1 Kings 15:27). B.C. 950. The effort to expel the Philistines seems to have been continued by the forces. of the northern kingdom, till the siege was finally raised by [[Omri]] in consequence of the necessity of pursuing the usurper [[Zimri]] (1 Kings 16:15). B.C. 926. It is said by Essebius and Jesome (apparently even to their time) to be inhabited by [[Gentiles]] (τῶν Ἀλλοφύλων Γαβαθών ), but they expressly distinguish this from the [[Danite]] towns, and they seem uncertain whether to identify it with a village (πολίχνη ) called [[Gabe]] (Γαβέ ), about 16 R. miles froeis Caesarea, sear the great plain of Legio, or with one of two or three other places named Gabbbatha (Onomast. s.v. Γαβαθών, Gabathon). [[Josephus]] (Ant. 8:12, 5) calls it Gabathone (Γαβαθώνη ). The signification oif the name and the great strength of the plaice seem to fix it upon the hills west of [[Gibeah]] of [[Benjamin]] (with which M.D. Saulcy confounds its locality, Narrative, 1:98). It is possibly the modern large village Saidon, a short distance beyond the well S.E. of Ramleh (Robinson, Researches, 3:21). [[Van]] de Velde calls it also [[Sheik]] Musa (Memoir, page 114). </p> | |||
