5[A«^i'() in Josh, xv, 15, 49; xxi, 15; Judg. i, 1, V. r. Aafitip ; Vulg. Dabir)^ a town in the mount- as of Judah (Josh, xv, 49), one of a group of eleven ties to the west of Hebron (Keil, Comment, in loc.), a parched region (Judg. i, 11-15). In the narra- ve it is mentioned as being the next place which Mhna took after Hebron (x, 88). It was the seat of Canaanitish king (x, 89 ; xii, 18), and was one of le towns of the Analdm, and from which they were tterly destroyed by Joshua (xi, 21). The earlier ame of Debir was ELirjath-sepheb (Josh, xv, 15 ; udg. i, 11) and Kirjath-sannah (Josh, xv, 49). Bee these names.) The records of its conquest vary, aough not very materially. In Josh, xv, 17, and udg. i, 13, a detailed account is given of its capture y Otbniel, son of Kenaz, for Jove of Achsah, the aughter of Caleb, while in the general history of the onquest it is ascribed to the great commander him- elf (Josh. X, 88, 39, where the name occurs with H ocal affixed, Dthi'rak, *^^3^, and this even with b ^^xed). It was one of the cities given with their 'suburbs" (tt3';a73) to the priests (Josh, xxi, 15; 1 Chron. vi, 58). Debir does not appear to have been bown to Jerome, nor has it been discovered with cer- tainty in modem times. About three miles to the W.
of Hebron is a deep and secluded valley called the Wady Nunkfir, enclosed on the north by tdlls of which one bears a name certainly suggestive of Debu<— ZM- t9tr-5an. (See the narrative of Rosen in the Zeittch. d. MorgenL 1857, p. 50-64). The subject, and indeed the whole topography of this district, requires further examination : in the mean time it is perhaps some con- firmation of Dr. Rosen's suggestion that a village or site on one of these hills is pointed out as called Isa, the Arabic name for Joshua. Schwarz (^Palest, p. 86) speaks of a Wady Dibir in this direction. Van de Yelde (Memcir^ p. 807) finds Debir at Dilbeh, six mUes S. W. of Hebron, where Stewart (^Tent and Khan, p. 228, 224) mentions a spring brought down from a high to a low level by an aqueduct (comp. *< the upper and the nether springs" of Judg. i, 14, 15). — Smith, s. v.

I>ebera)j a place on the north boundary of Judah, "near the " Valley of Achor" (Josh, xv, 7), and therefore somewhere in the complications of hill and ravine behind Jericho. De Sanlcy {Narrai. ii, 25) attaches the name Thowr ed-Dabour to the ruined khan on the right of the road ttom Jerusalem to Jer- icho, at which travellers usually stop to refresh ; but this is not corroborated by any other traveller, unless it be Schwarz (^Palest, p. 95), and he is disposed to identify this site with ^is and the foregoing place, nor does the locality agree with the scriptural intima- tions. The name usually given to it by the Arabs is Khan Hather^rah. A Wady Dabor Ib marked in Van de Velde's map as lying close to the S. of Neby Mftsa, at the N.W. comer of the Dead Sea (see De Saulcy, Narrat. ii, 53, 64), which probably gives a trace oif the ancient town as located on the N.E. of this valley.

3. The "border (bwii) of Debir" (^a^b, to Debir; Sept. A€/3i/9 V. r. Aa/Beip and Aat/3<ov; Vulg. Dabir) is named as forming part of the boundary of Gad (Josh, xiii, 26), and as apparently not far fn>m Mahanaim. Reland (Palast, p. 734) conjectures that the name may be the same as Lodebar (q. v.), which is written sim- ilarly (^a*lfc<V or *I57''^)» "*^ ^y ^ ^® ''•™® vicin- ity (2 Sam. ix, 4, 5). Lying in the grazing country on the high downs east of Jordan, the name is doubt- less connected with ^^^^ ddbar^ the same word which is the root of Midbar, the wildemess or pasture (see Gesenius, Thet, ffeb, p. 818).
