jog´beÌ„Ì-ha (יגבּחה, yoghbechÌ£aÌ„h): A city in Gilead assigned to Gad and fortified by that tribe (). It lay on the line along which Gideon chased the Midianites (), and the indication there leaves no doubt that it is represented today by AjbeihaÌ„t. The name attaches to 3 groups of ruins which date from Roman times. The position is about 7 miles Northwest of ‛AmmaÌ„n, and about midway between that city and the town of es-Salt. It stands 3,468 ft. above the level of the Mediterranean.
