Subjects in this Topic:
THEBEZ.—A fortified city, in the reduction of which Abimelech met his death (Jdg_9:50, 2Sa_11:21). It is described by Eusebius and Jerome as 13 miles from Neapolis, on the road to Scythopolis. This is almost certainly the present Tûbâs, a prosperous village in a fruitful open valley, 10 miles N.E. of Nâblus, on the ancient highroad to Beisân.
