Mt. Gilboa and the plain of Esdraelon.
Mountain range where Saul and Jonathan were slain (1 Sam. 28:4; 1 Sam. 31:1,8; 2 Sam. 1:6,21; 2 Sam. 21:12; 1 Chron. 10:1,8). When the tidings reached David he exclaimed, “Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of offerings.” It is judged to be on the S.W. of the valley of Jezreel.
