Oak of Tabor
Oak of Tabor
( , ‘elon tabhor): Thus the Revised Version (British and American) in 1Sa 10:3 for the King James Version plain of Tabor (the Revised Version margin terebinth). Tabor was famous for its groves of oak, but what oak is meant here is not known. Ewald thinks that Tabor is a different pronunciation for Deborah, and connects with Gen 35:8; but this is not likely. See OAK, 3.
