ZABULON

Volume 20 · 106 words · 1815 Edition

in Ancient Geography, one of the twelve tribes; bounded on the north by the tribes of Asher and Naphtali; on the east by the sea of Galilee; on the south by the tribe of Issachar or the brook Cison, which ran between both; on the west by the Mediterranean; so that it touched two seas, or was bimarous.

in Ancient Geography, a very strong town in the tribe of that name, on the Mediterranean, firnamed of men, near Ptolemais: its vicinity to which makes it probable that it was also Chabulon, unless either name is a faulty reading in Josephus; distant about 60 stadia from Ptolemais.
