A landmark on the direction the Midianite host fled after Gideons night attack at the Spring of Harod
GileadTabbath appears once in Scripture as a directional landmark in the Midianite rout after Gideon's legendary night attack with the three hundred at the Spring of Harod: "And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon... And the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath" (Judges 7:20-22). The Lord turned the Midianite swords against each other in the panic, and the host fled east toward the Jordan crossing in a long retreat through the upper Jordan Valley.
