📍Ibleam

Place

A city in the Canaan region. It was occupied by the tribe of Manasseh.

Judges 1:27Manasseh did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth Shan and its villages, or Taanach and its villages, or Dor and its villages, or Ibleam and its villages, or Megiddo and its villages; but the Canaanites were determined to live in that land.
Joshua 17:11In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh also had Beth Shan and its villages, Ibleam and its villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of En Dor and its villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its villages—the three hilly regions.

Later, Ahaziah (King of Judah) was severely wounded and died here after being defeated in battle with Jehu (King of Northern Israel).

2 Kings 9:27When Judah’s King Ahaziah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu pursued him and said, “Strike him down in his chariot!” So they struck him down on the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo and died there.
