<p> | <p> Jabesh and Jabesh-Gilead ( jâ'besh-gĭl'e-ad), dry Gilead. A city east of the Jordan; destroyed by the Israelites, Judges 21:8-14; delivered from [[Nahash]] by Saul, 1 Samuel 11:1-11, and in gratitude therefor, its people brought the bodies of [[Saul]] and his sons, which the [[Philistines]] hung upon the walls of Bethshan, to Jabesh, and caused them to be buried in a wood near by. 1 Samuel 31:11-13. David blessed them, 2 Samuel 2:4-6, but afterward removed the bones to Saul's ancestral burying-place. 2 Samuel 2:4-6; 2 Samuel 21:12-14. Robinson identifies it with ed-Deir, 23 miles southeast of the Sea of [[Galilee]] on the south side of [[Wady]] Yabis. Merrill, however, would identify [[Jabesh]] with the ruins of a town found about 7 miles from [[Pella]] and about 2300 feet above the [[Jordan]] valley. This seems to conform to the Biblical statements concerning the place. </p> | ||
