Lebonah was a town near Shiloh, on the north side of Bethel, mentioned in the Hebrew Bible (Judges 21:19). It has been identified with Al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya, to the south of Nablus.[1][2]

The nearby Israeli community of Ma'ale Levona, located near this site, takes its name from Lebonah.

Etymology

[edit | edit source]
