Ibleam
Ibleam
(Heb. Yibleaim’, , people-waster; Sept. , [but some codd. occasionally omit]), a city (with suburban towns) within the natural precincts of Issachar, but (with five others) assigned to Manasseh (Jos 17:11, where it is mentioned between Beth-shean and Dor), but from which the Israelites were unable to expel the Canaanites (Jdg 1:27, where it is mentioned between Dor and Megiddo); lying near the pass of Gur, in the vicinity of Megiddo, where Jehu slew Ahaziah (2Ki 9:27). It was assigned as a Levitical city to the family of Kohath (1Ch 6:70, where it is less correctly called BILEAM and mentioned along with Aner as lying within Manasseh); compare Jos 21:25, where it is called GATH-RIMMON (apparently by error; see the Sept., and comp. 1Ch 6:69). According to Schwarz (Palest. p. 148), it is the modern village Jubla, south-west (north-west) of Beth-shean, and about two English miles south of the village Kefrah; but no map has this place, and the indications require a different position. SEE GUR. The site is probably represented by that of Jelanseh, a small village about two and a half miles north of Jenin (Robinson, Researches, 3, 161).

Ibleam (2)
The modern site, Jeclameh (or Belnmeh, as Tristram, Bible Places, page 221, and Conder, Tent Work, 2:337, incorrectly write), is thus described in the Memoirs accompanying the Ordnance Survey (2:84): “It stands in the plain, surrounded with arable land, and is supplied by cisterns. It has a kubbeh (domed place of prayer). on the north side. This place seems not improbably the Kalusuna of the lists of Thothmes, mentioned in the same group with Saanach, Anohareth, and other places on the plain (Quar. Statement of the Pal. Explor. Fund, July 1876, page 147).”

Ibleam
people-waster, a city assigned to Manasseh (Josh. 17:11), from which the Israelites, however, could not expel the Canaanites (Judg. 1:27). It is also called Bileam (1 Chr. 6:70). It was probably the modern Jelamah, a village 2 1/2 miles north of Jenin.

Ibleam
A city with dependent villages, belonging to Manasseh, yet situated in Asher or Issachar (probably the latter). (See GUR.) Near Jenin (Jdg 1:27; Jos 17:11; 2Ki 9:27). Perhaps the Bileam of 1Ch 6:70, and Gathrimmon. (See BILEAM; GATHRIMMON.)

Ibleam
IBLEAM.A town belonging to West Manasseh (Jos 17:11, Jdg 1:27). It is mentioned also in 2Ki 9:27 in connexion with the death of king Ahaziah, who fled by the way of Beth-haggan and the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. The Biblical data seem to be well satisfied by the modern ruin Bel ame, some 13 miles E. of N. of Samaria, more than half-way to Jezreel.
In 2Ki 15:10 (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) before the people should certainly be emended to in Ibleam. Gath-rimmon of Jos 21:25 is a scribal error for Ibleam. It is the same place that is called Bileam in 1Ch 6:70.

Ibleam
ible-am (, yibhleam); A town in the territory of Issachar which was assigned to Manasseh (Jos 17:11). This tribe, however, failed to expel the inhabitants, so the Canaanites continued to dwell in that land (Jdg 1:27). It was on the route by which Ahaziah fled from Jehu. He was overtaken and mortally wounded at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam (2Ki 9:27). The name appears as Bileam in 1Ch 6:70; and it probably corresponds to Belmen of Jth. It is now represented by the ruin of Belameh on the West of the valley through which the road to the south runs, about half a mile from Jenn. In 2Ki 15:10, where it is said that Zechariah the son of Jeroboam was slain by Shallum before the people, this last phrase, which is awkward in the Hebrew, should be amended to read in Bileam. Possibly Gath-rimmon in Jos 21:25 is a clerical error for Ibleam.
