Tempat
Yabesh-Gilead
Sebuah kota di sebelah timur Sungai Yordan, di puncak salah satu bukit hijau di Gilead, di dalam batas wilayah setengah suku Manasye, dan dapat terlihat jelas dari Bet-Sean. Kota ini pertama kali disebutkan sehubungan dengan pembalasan yang dilakukan terhadap penduduknya karena mereka menolak datang ke Mizpa untuk bergabung bersama Israel melawan suku Benyamin (Hakim-hakim 21:8-14). Setelah pertempuran di Gibea, suku tersebut hampir punah, hanya tersisa enam ratus orang laki-laki. Suatu pasukan dikirim untuk menyerang Yabesh-Gilead, dan seluruh penduduknya dibunuh dengan pedang, kecuali empat ratus anak gadis, yang mereka tawan dan bawa untuk “memaklumkan perdamaian” kepada orang-orang Benyamin yang telah melarikan diri ke bukit batu Rimon. Para tawanan ini diberikan kepada mereka sebagai istri, supaya suku itu luput dari kepunahan (Hakim-hakim 21).
Kota ini kemudian direbut oleh Nahas, raja orang Amon, tetapi diselamatkan oleh Saul, raja Israel yang baru terpilih. Sebagai ungkapan terima kasih atas pembebasan ini, empat puluh tahun kemudian, orang-orang Yabesh-Gilead menurunkan jenazah Saul dan ketiga anak laki-lakinya dari tembok Bet-Sean, dan setelah membakarnya, mereka menguburkan tulang-tulangnya di bawah sebatang pohon dekat kota itu (1 Samuel 31:11-13). Daud berterima kasih kepada mereka atas tindakan bakti ini (2 Samuel 2:4-6), dan kemudian memindahkan kerangka-kerangka itu ke makam kerajaan (2 Samuel 21:14). Kota ini diidentifikasikan dengan reruntuhan ed-Deir, sekitar 10 km di sebelah selatan Pella, di sebelah utara Wady Yabis.
