Lebonah
The caravan crossroads.
Inhabitants or Natives
Malachi, the father of a bent child.[1]
Description
"The town does not seem very important or beautiful to me, but in compensation it is very busy. I would say that Lebonah is on a caravan route or rather that it is a hub of caravan routes coming from Galilee and Iturea, from Gaulanitis, Trachonitis, Auranitis, and the Decapolis, from the Mediterranean to the mountains east of Palestine, and also from the north, meeting in this place on the main road leading to Jerusalem. This preference of people probably comes from the fact that this route is closely monitored by the Romans, and consequently people feel safer from the danger of bad encounters with robbers."[2]
Notable Events
Jesus gives the second version of the parable of the ill-advised here.[3]
