JOGBEHAH.—A town of Gad in Gilead (Num_32:35), named also in connexion with Gideon’s pursuit of the Midianites (Jdg_8:11). It is the present ruin el-Jubeihât (or Ajbeihât), N. W. from Rabbath-ammon, and about midway between that place and es-Sault.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


A city E. of Jordan, fortified by Gad (Num_32:25). Jaazer (Jazer, one in Gilead) and Jogbehah, N.W. of Amman, between it and Es Salt, now Jebeiha, a ruin seven miles to the N.E., formed the second group of Gadite settlements. The first group was headed by Dibon. Chemosh Gad ("he whose good fortune is Chemosh") the father of Mesha was a Dibonite. The third Gadite settlement lay in the Jordan valley, W. of the second group, Beth Nimrah, etc. (Num_32:33-36).

Jog'behah. (lofty). One of the cities on the east of Jordan, which were built and fortified, by the tribe of Gad, when they took possession of their territory. Num_32:35.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


jog?bḗ-ha (יגבּחה, yoghbecḥāh): A city in Gilead assigned to Gad and fortified by that tribe (Num_32:35). It lay on the line along which Gideon chased the Midianites (Jdg_8:11), and the indication there leaves no doubt that it is represented today by Ajbeihāt. The name attaches to 3 groups of ruins which date from Roman times. The position is about 7 miles Northwest of ‛Ammān, and about midway between that city and the town of es-Salt. It stands 3,468 ft. above the level of the Mediterranean.

Jogbehah
(Heb. Yogbah', יָגְבִּהּ, only with ה paragogic, יָגְבְּהָה, lofty; Sept. Ι᾿εγεβαά, but ὕψωσαν αὐτάς in Numbers; Vulg. Jegbaa), a place mentioned (between Jazer and Beth-nimrah) among the “fenced cities and folds for sheep” rebuilt by the Gadites (Num_32:35). It lay on the route of Gideon when pursuing the nomadic Midianites, near Nobah, beyond Penuel, in the direction of Karkor (Jdg_8:11). These notices correspond sufficiently with the locality of the ruined village El-Jebeiha (Robinson's Researches, 3, Append. p. 168), laid down on Robinson's and Zimmerman's maps on the edge of the desert east of Jebel el-Fukeis.
