Subjects in this Topic:

ZABADÆANS.—The name of an Arabian tribe defeated by Jonathan Maccabæus, b.c. 144. According to the account in 1Ma_12:30-32, its home was to the N.W. of Damascus. Perhaps Zebedâni, on the Anti-Lebanon, about 20 miles on the way from Damascus to Baalbek, represents the ancient name.

J. F. McCurdy.
