<p> ''''' jā´besh ''''' ( יבשׁ , <i> ''''' yābhēsh ''''' </i> ): A short form of | <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> | ||

<p> Ja´besh or Jabesh Gilead, a town beyond the Jordan, in the land of Gilead. </p> <p> Jabesh belonged to the half-tribe of Manasseh, and was sacked by the Israelites for refusing to join in the war against [[Benjamin]] . It is chiefly memorable for the siege it sustained from Nahash, king of the Ammonites, the raising of which formed the first exploit of the newly-elected king, Saul, and procured his confirmation in the sovereignty. The inhabitants had agreed to surrender, and to have their right eyes put out (to incapacitate them from military service), but were allowed seven days to ratify the treaty. In the meantime Saul collected a large army, and came to their relief (1 Samuel 11). This service was gratefully remembered by the Jabeshites; and, about forty years after, when the dead bodies of Saul and his sons were gibbeted on the walls of Bethshan, on the other side of the river, they made a forced march by night, took away the bodies, and gave them honorable burial (1 Samuel 31). </p> <p> Jabesh still existed as a town in the time of Eusebius, who places it six miles from Pella towards Gerasa; but the knowledge of the site is now lost, unless we accept the conclusion of Mr. Buckingham, who thinks it may be found in a place called Jehaz or Jejaz, marked by ruins upon a hill, in a spot not far from which, according to the above indications, Jabesh must have been situated. </p> | |||
