Jabesh-Gilead
Jabesh-Gilead (also Yavesh Gil'ad) is an ancient town referred to in four books of the Hebrew Bible. Some biblical scholars believe it to have been located east of the Jordan River, in the vicinity of Wadi Yabes.
Jabesh Gilead is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible in the first and second books of Samuel, in the book of Chronicles, and in the Book of Judges. Jabesh Gilead is primarily mentioned in connection with King Saul's and King David's battles against the Philistines and Ammonites.
