Jabesh:
ja'-besh (yabhesh): A short form of JABESH-GILEAD (which see).
Jabesh:
(dry).
(1.) Father of Shallum, the fifteenth king of Israel (2 Kings 15:10; 15:13; 15:14).
(2.) Jabesh‐gilead, or Jabesh in the territory of Gilead. In its widest sense Gilead included the half tribe of Manasseh (1 Chronicles 27:21) as well as the tribes of Gad and Reuben (Numbers 32:1-42) east of the Jordan; and of the cities of Gilead, Jabesh was the chief. It is first mentioned in Judges 21:8-14. Being attacked subsequently by Nahash the Ammonite, it gave Saul an opportunity of displaying his prowess in its defence (1 Samuel 11:1-15). Eusebius places it beyond the Jordan, six miles from Pella on the mountain road to Gerasa; where its name is probably preserved in the Wady Yabes.
