ibleam Summary and Overview
Bible Dictionaries at a Glance
ibleam in Easton's Bible Dictionary
people-waster, a city assigned to Manasseh (Josh. 17:11), from which the Israelites, however, could not expel the Canaanites (Judg. 1:27). It is also called Bileam (1 Chr. 6:70). It was probably the modern Jelamah, a village 2 1/2 miles north of Jenin.
ibleam in Schaff's Bible Dictionary
IB'LEAM (consuming the people), a city of Manasseh, but in the territory of either Issachar or Asher, Josh 17:11; Jud 1:27; 2 Kgs 9:27, and doubtless identical with Bileam. 1 Chr 6:70. It is proposed by some to identify Ibleam with Jelama, north of Jenin; by others, with Belnmeh.
