Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Lo-Debar, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location. However, the concept of barrenness or lack might be related to Greek terms that convey similar meanings, though these would not be direct translations of the name itself.

Usage: Lo-Debar is used as a proper noun referring to a location in the biblical narrative. It is mentioned in the context of the story of Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, who was living in Lo-Debar when King David sought to show kindness to him for Jonathan's sake.

Context: Lo-Debar is a town located in the region of Gilead, east of the Jordan River. It is mentioned in the context of the narrative involving King David and Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan and grandson of King Saul. In 2 Samuel 9:4-5, David inquires about any remaining descendants of Saul to whom he could show kindness for Jonathan's sake. He learns that Mephibosheth is living in Lo-Debar, in the house of Machir son of Ammiel. David sends for Mephibosheth and brings him to Jerusalem, where he restores to him all the land of Saul and allows him to eat at the king's table regularly. The name Lo-Debar, meaning "no pasture" or "no thing," may reflect the town's desolate or insignificant status, contrasting with the honor and provision Mephibosheth receives from David. The town is also mentioned in 2 Samuel 17:27, where Machir of Lo-Debar provides supplies to David during Absalom's rebellion.
