DABERATH(Δαβιρών, LXX.; Δαβειρά, Euseb.), a border city of the tribe of Zebulon ( Josh. 19.12), apparently identical with the Levitical city Dabareh (Δεββά, LXX.; Josh. 21.28), and with Debir in 1 Chron. 6.58, though in these passages it is reckoned to the tribe of Issachar, as is also Daberath in 1 Chron. 6.72 (Δεβερί, LXX.). Its site is marked by the small Moslem village of Debûriah, which is situated at the NW. base of Mount Tabor, on a ledge of rocks, thus answering to the description given by Eusebius and St. Jerome of the situation of Dabeira, as a town of the Jews on Mount Tabor, in the district of Diocaesareia. (Onomast. s. v.;Reland, Palaest. p. 733.) Dr. Robinson further identifies with it the Dabaritta of Josephus in the great plain ( Bib. Res. vol. 3. p. 210), but this is very questionable.
