Gilboa:

(a bubbling spring). a mountain range on the eastern side of the plain of Esdraelon, rising over the city of Jezreel (compare 1 Samuel 28:4 with 1 Samuel 29:1). It is mentioned in Scripture only in connection with one event in Israelitish history, the defeat and death of Saul and Jonathan by the Philistines (1 Samuel 31:11; 2 Samuel 1:6; 21:12; 1 Chronicles 10:1; 10:8). Of the identity of Gilboa with the ridge which stretches eastward from the ruins of Jezreel no doubt can be entertained. The village is now called Jelbou.
