Lo-Debar
Lo-debar
(Heb. Lo-Debar, , no pasture, 2Sa 17:27, Sept. ; written in 2Sa 9:4-5, Septuag. ), a town apparently in Gilead, not far from Mahanaim, the residence of Ammiel, whose son Machir entertained Mephibosheth. and aftervards sent refreshments to David (2Sa 9:4-5; 2Sa 17:27). It is probably the same with the place (see Reland, Palest. page 875) called DEBIR (or rather Lidbir’, , Jos 13:26; Sept. , Vulg. Dabir; for thelis not a prefix, but a part of the name [see Keil’s Comment. ad loc.], which should probably be pointed Lod-ebar’), on the (north-eastern) border of Gad, but in which direction from Mahanaim is uncertain, perhaps north- west (in which general direction the associated names appear to proceed), and not far from et-Taryibell.

Lo-Debar
LO-DEBAR.A place in Gilead, near to, and apparently east from, Mahanaim. It was the retreat of Mephibosheth till he was summoned to court by David (2Sa 9:4-5). It is mentioned also upon the occasion of Davids flight to the east of the Jordan (2Sa 17:27). The site has not been recovered. It is perhaps the same as Lidebir of Jos 13:26.

Lo-Debar
lode-bar, lo-debar ( , lo dhebhar): A place in Gilead where dwelt Machir, son of Ammiel, who sheltered Mephibosheth, son of Saul, after that monarch’s death (2Sa 9:4), until he was sent for by David. This same Machir met David with supplies when he fled to Gilead from Absalom (2Sa 17:27 f). Possibly it is the same place as Lidebir in Jos 13:26 (Revised Version margin). No certain identification is possible; but Schumacher (Northern Ajlun, 101) found a site with the name Ibdar about 6 1/2 miles East of Umm Keis, North of the great aqueduct, which may possibly represent the ancient city. Lidebir, at least, seems to be placed on the northern boundary of Gilead. The modern village stands on the southern shoulder of Wady Samar. There is a good spring to the East, a little lower down, while ancient remains are found in the neighborhood.
