Gibbethon
(Hebrew Gibbethon’, a height; Sept. v.r. , , and ), a city of the Philistines, which was included in thee territories of the tribe of Dan (Jos 19:44), and was assigned, with its “suburbs,” to the Kohatbite Levites (Jos 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 (1Ki 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 (1Ki 16:15). B.C. 926. It is said by Essebius and Jesome (apparently even to their time) to be inhabited by Gentiles ( ), but they expressly distinguish this from the Danite towns, and they seem uncertain whether to identify it with a village () called Gabe (), 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. , Gabathon). Josephus (Ant. 8:12, 5) calls it Gabathone ( ). 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).

Gibbethon
(“lofty place”.) A town allotted to Dan (Jos 19:44), afterwards to the Kohathite Levites (Jos 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 (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 16:17). Baasha smote Nadab there.

Gibbethon
GIBBETHON (mound, height).A town belonging to the tribe of Dan, and a Levitical city (Jos 19:44; Jos 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 (1Ki 15:27; 1Ki 16:16-17). It is possibly the modern Kibbiah, to the N.E. of Lydda.

Gibbethon
gibe-thon (, gibbethon): A city in the territory of Dan in the plain named with Eltekeh and Baalath (Jos 19:44), and assigned to the Kohathite Levites (Jos 21:23). Later we find it in the hands of the Philistines; and it was while besieging the city that Nadab was slain by Baasha (1Ki 15:27). After 25 years Omri, the general of Baasha, was here made king of the army when news reached them of Zimri s regicide (1Ki 16:15). It may possibly be identified with Kibbiah, which lies about 16 miles Southeast of Jaffa; but no certain identification is possible.
