The city is often associated with the region of Gilead, a mountainous area known for its balm and rugged terrain.<br><br><b>Biblical References and Historical Significance:</b> <br>Jabesh-gilead is mentioned several times in the Old Testament, playing a significant role in the narrative of Israel's early monarchy and tribal confederation.<br><br>1. <b><a href="/judges/21-8.htm">Judges 21:8-14</a></b>: Jabesh-gilead first appears in the context of the aftermath of the civil war between the tribe of Benjamin and the other Israelite tribes. The Israelites had sworn not to give their daughters in marriage to the Benjamites. To provide wives for the surviving Benjamites, they attacked Jabesh-gilead, which had not joined the assembly at Mizpah, and took 400 young virgins to give to the Benjamites.<br><br> <b>"So they asked, 'Which one of the tribes of Israel failed to come up before the LORD at Mizpah?' And, behold, no one from Jabesh-gilead had come to the camp for the assembly."</i> (<a href="/judges/21-8.htm">Judges 21:8</a>)<br><br>2. <b>1 Samuel 11</b>: Jabesh-gilead is prominently featured in the narrative of King Saul's early reign. Nahash the Ammonite besieged Jabesh-gilead, and the inhabitants sought help from the rest of Israel. Saul, newly anointed as king, rallied the Israelites and delivered Jabesh-gilead from the Ammonites, solidifying his leadership and gaining the loyalty of the people.<br><br> <b>"Then the Spirit of God came powerfully upon Saul when he heard these words, and he burned with anger."</i> (<a href="/1_samuel/11-6.htm">1 Samuel 11:6</a>)<br><br>3. <b><a href="/1_samuel/31-11.htm">1 Samuel 31:11-13</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/2-4.htm">2 Samuel 2:4-5</a></b>: The men of Jabesh-gilead demonstrated their loyalty and gratitude to Saul by retrieving his body and those of his sons from the Philistines after their defeat at Mount Gilboa. They brought the bodies back to Jabesh-gilead and gave them a proper burial. David later commended the men of Jabesh-gilead for their act of kindness and loyalty.<br><br> <b>"When the people of Jabesh-gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul, all their valiant men set out, journeyed all night, and retrieved the bodies of Saul and his sons from the wall of Beth-shan. They went to Jabesh and burned them there."</i> (<a href="/1_samuel/31-11.htm">1 Samuel 31:11-12</a>)<br><br><b>Cultural and Theological Insights:</b> <br>Jabesh-gilead's narrative highlights themes of loyalty, covenant faithfulness, and the complexities of tribal relationships in ancient Israel. The city's interactions with the tribe of Benjamin and King Saul underscore the importance of unity and support among the tribes of Israel. The rescue of Saul's body by the men of Jabesh-gilead serves as a testament to the enduring bonds of gratitude and respect, even in the face of national tragedy.<br><br><b>Archaeological and Historical Context:</b> <br>While the exact location of Jabesh-gilead remains uncertain, it is generally believed to have been situated in the northern part of Gilead, possibly near the modern-day city of Ajloun in Jordan. The historical and archaeological context of Gilead provides insight into the region's strategic importance and its role in the broader narrative of Israel's history.<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>A town on the east of Jordan, on the top of one of the green hills of Gilead, within the limits of the half tribe of Manasseh, and in full view of Beth-shan. It is first mentioned in connection with the vengeance taken on its inhabitants because they had refused to come up to Mizpeh to take part with Israel against the tribe of Benjamin (<a href="/judges/21-8.htm">Judges 21:8</a>-14). After the battles at Gibeah, that tribe was almost extinguished, only six hundred men remaining. An expedition went against Jabesh-Gilead, the whole of whose inhabitants were put to the sword, except four hundred maidens, whom they brought as prisoners and sent to "proclaim peace" to the Benjamites who had fled to the crag Rimmon. These captives were given to them as wives, that the tribe might be saved from extinction (<a href="/context/judges/21.htm">Judges 21</a>).<p>This city was afterwards taken by Nahash, king of the Ammonites, but was delivered by Saul, the newly-elected king of Israel. In gratitude for this deliverance, forty years after this, the men of Jabesh-Gilead took down the bodies of Saul and of his three sons from the walls of Beth-shan, and after burning them, buried the bones under a tree near the city (<a href="/1_samuel/31-11.htm">1 Samuel 31:11</a>-13). David thanked them for this act of piety (<a href="/2_samuel/2-4.htm">2 Samuel 2:4</a>-6), and afterwards transferred the remains to the royal sepulchre (<a href="/2_samuel/21-14.htm">21:14</a>). It is identified with the ruins of ed-Deir, about 6 miles south of Pella, on the north of the Wady Yabis. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">JABESH-GILEAD</span><p>ja'-besh-gil'-e-ad (yabhesh gil`adh; or simply yabhish, "dry"): A city East of the Jordan, in the deliverance of which from Nahash the Ammonite Saul's military prowess was first displayed (<a href="/1_samuel/11-1.htm">1 Samuel 11:1</a>). At an earlier time the inhabitants failed to share with their brethren in taking vengeance upon Benjamin. This laxity was terribly punished, only 400 virgins being spared alive, who afterward became wives to the Benjamites (<a href="/nasb/judges/21.htm">Judges 21</a>). The gratitude of the inhabitants to Saul was affectingly proved after the disaster to that monarch on Gilboa (<a href="/nasb/1_samuel/31.htm">1 Samuel 31</a>). David, hearing of their deed, sent an approving message, and sought to win their loyalty to himself (<a href="/2_samuel/2-4.htm">2 Samuel 2:4</a>). Robinson (Biblical Researches, III, 39) thought it might be represented by ed-Deir, about 6 miles from Pella (Fachil), on the southern bank of Wady Yabis. The distance from Pella agrees with the statement of Eusebius, Onomasticon (s.v.). Others (Oliphant, Land of Gilead, 277; Merrill, East of Jordan, 430, etc.) would identify it with the ruins of Meriamin, about 3 miles Southeast of Pella, on the North of Wady Yabis. The site remains in doubt; but the ancient name still lingers in that of the valley, the stream from which enters the Jordan fully 9 miles Southeast of Beisan.<br><br>W.
