tabor
a height. 1. now jebel et-tur, a cone-like prominent mountain,
11 miles west of the sea of galilee. it is about 1,843 feet
high. the view from the summit of it is said to be singularly
extensive and grand. this is alluded to in ps. 89:12; jer.
46:18. it was here that barak encamped before the battle with
sisera q.v. judg. 4:6-14. there is an old tradition, which,
however, is unfounded, that it was the scene of the
transfiguration of our lord. see hermon. "the
prominence and isolation of tabor, standing, as it does, on the
border-land between the northern and southern tribes, between
the mountains and the central plain, made it a place of note in
all ages, and evidently led the psalmist to associate it with
hermon, the one emblematic of the south, the other of the
north." there are some who still hold that this was the scene of
the transfiguration q.v..
2. a town of zebulum 1 chr. 6:77.
3. the "plain of tabor" 1 sam. 10:3 should be, as in the
revised version, "the oak of tabor." this was probably the
allon-bachuth of gen. 35:8.
