Nekeb:

cavern, a town on the boundary of Naphtali (Jos 19:33). It has with probability, been identified with Seiyadeh, nearly 2 miles east of Bessum, a ruin half way between Tiberias and Mount Tabor.

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Nekeb:

ne'-keb: This name occurs only in combination with "Adami" ('adhami ha-neqebh, "Adami of the pass"); Septuagint reads the names of two places: kai Arme kai Nabok (B); kai Armai kai Nakeb (Jos 19:33), so we should possibly read "Adami and Nekeb." Neubauer says (Geog. du Talmud, 225) that later the name of Nekeb was Ciyadathah. It may therefore be represented by the modern Seiyadeh, not far from ed-Damieh to the East of Tabor, about 4 miles Southwest of Tiberias. The name of Nekeb, a town in Galilee, appears in the list of Thothmes III.

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Nekeb:

(cavern) one of the towns on the boundary of Naphtali (Joshua 19:3). It lay between Adami and Jabneel. A great number of commentators have taken this name as being connected with the preceding.
