ExplanationCommentary
Verse 8. Jabes was between Pella and Gerasa, upon a mountain, east of the Jordan. It was after its destruction rebuilt, ( Calmet.) and became very famous, (1 Kennicott. 11. Menochius.) if it was indeed ever demolished. We know not what prevented the inhabitants from joining in common cause. Bible.
