Gibbethon
Easton's Bible Dictionary
A height, a city of the Philistines in the territory of Dan, given to the Kohathites (Josh 19:44; 21:23). Nadab the king of Israel, while besieging it, was slain under its walls by Baasha, one of his own officers (1 Kgs 15:27). It was in the possession of the Philistines after the secession of the ten tribes (2 Chr 11:13, 14).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
gib'-e-thon (gibbethon): A city in the territory of Da in the plain named with Eltekeh and Baalath (Josh 19:44), and assigned to the Kohathite Levites (Josh 21:23). Later we find it in the hands of the Philistines; and it was while besieging the city that Nadab was slain by Baasha (1 Kgs 15:27). After 25 years Omri, the general of Baasha, was here made king of the army when news reached them of Zimri s regicide (1 Kgs 16:15). It may possibly be identified with Kibbiah, which lies about 16 miles Southeast of Jaffa; but no certain identification is possible.
