Gibbethon
A height, a city of the Philistines in the territory of Dan, given to the Kohathites ([Josh. 19:44](/josh#Josh.19.44); [21:23](/josh#Josh.21.23)). Nadab the king of Israel, while besieging it, was slain under its walls by Baasha, one of his own officers ([1 Kings 15:27](/1kgs#1Kgs.15.27)). It was in the possession of the Philistines after the secession of the ten tribes ([2 Chr. 11:13](/2chr#2Chr.11.13), [14](/2chr#2Chr.11.14)).
