Jabesh
Jabesh (Template:Langx[1]) was the father of Shallum of the Kingdom of Israel according to the Hebrew Bible.
Jabesh is mentioned In the Books of Kings (Script error: No such module "Bibleverse"., Script error: No such module "Bibleverse".). However, the passage may instead mention a toponym, identifying that Shallum was "the son" of a city called Jabesh. In this view, Shallum may have originated from the Israelite town of Jabesh-Gilead.[2]
The name means "dry" in Hebrew.[3]
