Jogbehah
Jogbehah
(Heb. Yogbah’, , only with paragogic, , lofty; Sept. , but in Numbers; Vulg. Jegbaa), a place mentioned (between Jazer and Beth-nimrah) among the fenced cities and folds for sheep rebuilt by the Gadites (Num 32:35). It lay on the route of Gideon when pursuing the nomadic Midianites, near Nobah, beyond Penuel, in the direction of Karkor (Jdg 8:11). These notices correspond sufficiently with the locality of the ruined village El-Jebeiha (Robinson’s Researches, 3, Append. p. 168), laid down on Robinson’s and Zimmerman’s maps on the edge of the desert east of Jebel el-Fukeis.

The first group was headed by Dibon. Chemosh Gad (“he whose good fortune is Chemosh”) the father of Mesha was a Dibonite. The third Gadite settlement lay in the Jordan valley, W. of the second group, Beth Nimrah, etc. (Num 32:33-36).

Jogbehah
jogbe-ha (, yoghbechah): A city in Gilead assigned to Gad and fortified by that tribe (Num 32:35). It lay on the line along which Gideon chased the Midianites (Jdg 8:11), and the indication there leaves no doubt that it is represented today by Ajbeihat. The name attaches to 3 groups of ruins which date from Roman times. The position is about 7 miles Northwest of Amman, and about midway between that city and the town of es-Salt. It stands 3,468 ft. above the level of the Mediterranean.
