<p> (Heb. E'bets, אֶבֶוֹ '','' in pause אָבֶוֹ ''A ‘ Bets, Lustre,'' and hence, perhaps, ''Tin;'' Sept. ‘Αεμές, Vulg. ''Abes),'' a town in the tribe of Issachar, apparently near the border, mentioned between Kishion and Remeth (&nbsp;Joshua 19:20). It is probably the ''Abesap'' (Ἀβέσαρος ) mentioned by [[Josephus]] ''(Ant.'' 6:13, 8) as the native city of the wife whom David had married prior to [[Abigail]] and after his deprival of Michal; possibly referring to [[Ahinoam]] the [[Jezreelitess]] (&nbsp;1 Samuel 25:43), as if she had been so called as having resided in some town of the valley of Esdraelon. According to Schwarz ''(Palest.'' p. 167), "it is probably the village of ''Kunebiz,'' called also ''Karm En-Abiz,'' which lies three English miles west-south-west from Iksal;" meaning the ''Khuneifis'' or ''Ukhneifis'' of Robinson ''(Researches,'' 3, 167, 218), which is in the general locality indicated by the associated names. </p> <p> ADDENDUM FROM [[Volume]] 11: </p> <p> Lieuit. Coitier (Tent Work, 2, 334) thinks this is the ruined site Khurbet el- Beida, marked on the Ordnance Map eight miles west of [[Nazareth]] and two south-west of Beit-Lahm, remarking (Quar. [[Report]] of the "Pal. Explor. Fund," Jan. 1881, p. 49) that "the Arabic exactly corresponds [?] to the Hebrew, with the same meaning, ‘ white'" but this seems doubtful. </p>
