SCRIPTURE

"And they said, What one is there of the tribes of Israel that came not up unto Jehovah to Mizpah? And, behold, there came none to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly." — Judges 21:8 (ASV)

Jabesh-Gilead - Is here mentioned for the first time. (See marginal references.) The name of Jabesh survives only in the Wadi Yabes (running down to the east bank of the Jordan), near the head of which are situated the ruins called Ed-Deir, which are identified with Jabesh-Gilead.
