Nezib
Nezib
(Heb. Netsib’, , fixed, or a garrison [as in 1Sa 10:5; 1Sa 13:3-4; 1 Samuel 1 Clhron. 11:6]; Sept. , v. r. ), a city in the Shephelah or maritime plain of Judah; mentioned between Ashnah and Keilah (Jos 15:43), in the group in the south-western part of the hilly region (Keil, Comment. ad loc.). Eusebius and Jerome give it the same name (, Nazib), and place it at the ninth (Jerome, seventh) mile from Eleutheropolis towards Hebron (Onomast. s.v. Neesib). It is doubtless the present Beit- Nusib, situated on a rising ground, at the edge of the plain and mountain tract, two and a half hours from Beit-Jebrin towards Hebron (Robinson, Bib. Res. 2:343 sq., 404; 3:12; Schwarz, Palest. p. 104). It has ruins of considerable extent, especially a massive tower sixty feet square, with the foundations of another great fabric, and broken columns and large building-stones (Porter, Hand-book, p. 280). Tobler, however, describes it as an insignificant cupola with a few ruins (Dritte Wanderung, p. 150).

The modern representative of this site, Beit-Nusib, is laid down as a ruin on the Ordnance Map, eight miles north-west of Hebron, and described in the accompanying Memoirs (3:324) as consisting of “cisterns and caves, foundations and ruined walls, with a few pillar shafts…. The buildings seem to date back to the Byzantine period, judging from the character of the masonry; but the cisterns and caves are perhaps earlier.”

Nezib
Ne’zib. (garrison, pillar). A city of Judah, in Jos 15:43 only, in the district of the Shefelah, or lowland, one of the same group with Keilah and Mareshah. To Eusebius and Jerome, it was evidently known. They place it on the road between Eleutheropolis and Hebron, seven or nine miles from the former, and there it still stands under the almost identical name of Beit Nusib or Chirbeh Nasib.
