Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Gilboa in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. Usage: Gilboa refers to a mountain range in ancient Israel, known for its association with the tragic end of King Saul and his sons. The name may imply a sense of bubbling or boiling, possibly reflecting the tumultuous events that occurred there. Cultural and Historical Background: Mount Gilboa is located in the northern part of Israel, near the Jezreel Valley. It holds significant historical and cultural importance due to its mention in the biblical narrative of King Saul. The mountain range is a symbol of both national tragedy and divine judgment, as it was the site of the battle where the Philistines defeated Israel, leading to the death of Saul and his sons. This event marked a pivotal moment in Israel's history, transitioning from the rule of Saul to the rise of David as king.
