jog´bḗ - ha ( יגבּחה , yoghbecḥāh ): A city in Gilead assigned to Gad and fortified by that tribe ( Numbers 32:35 ). It lay on the line along which Gideon chased the Midianites (Judges 8:11 ), and the indication there leaves no doubt that it is represented today by Ajbeihāt . The name attaches to 3 groups of ruins which date from Roman times. The position is about 7 miles Northwest of ‛Ammān , and about midway between that city and the town of es -Salt . It stands 3,468 ft. above the level of the Mediterranean.
