Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Gilboa, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Gilboa is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a mountain or mountain range in ancient Israel.

Context: Gilboa is a mountain range located in the northern part of ancient Israel, near the Valley of Jezreel. It is most famously known as the site of the tragic battle between the Israelites, led by King Saul, and the Philistines. This battle is recorded in 1 Samuel 31, where Saul and his sons, including Jonathan, were killed. The defeat led to the lamentation of David, as recorded in 2 Samuel 1:21, where he curses the mountains of Gilboa: "O mountains of Gilboa, may you have neither dew nor rain, nor fields of offerings, for there the shield of the mighty was defiled, the shield of Saul, no longer anointed with oil." The mountain's association with this significant event in Israel's history has made it a symbol of national tragedy and mourning. Gilboa is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 21:12, where David retrieves the bones of Saul and Jonathan from the Philistines and gives them a proper burial.
