TABOR ta'-ber, tar'-bor (tabhor; Codex Vaticanus Thachcheia; Codex Alexandrinus Thabor): One of the towns in the territory of Zebulun, given to the Merarite Levites (1 Ch 6:77). The parallel list in Josh 21:24 f contains no name like this. There is no indication of its position. Some have thought that it may correspond to Daberath in the territory of Issachar (21:28), now represented by Deburiyeh on the western slope of Mt. Tabor; others that it may be the mountain itself; and yet others that it may be a city on the mountain, which probably was occupied from very early times. There is a Tabor mentioned as on the border of Issachar (Josh 19:22); but that is almost certainly the mountain. It has been suggested that Tabor in 1 Ch 6:17 may be a contraction of Chisloth-tabor (Josh 19:12), the modern Iksal, 3 miles West of the mountain. No certainty is possible. W. Ewing |
