Usage: The term is used in the context of a location in the biblical narrative, specifically mentioned in the Book of Judges. Context: Lebonah is a town mentioned in the Old Testament, located near Shiloh. It is referenced in Judges 21:19, which describes the annual feast of the LORD held at Shiloh, situated north of Bethel, east of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah. The passage highlights the strategic location of Lebonah along a significant route in the central hill country of ancient Israel. The town's name, derived from the root meaning "white," may suggest a characteristic of the area, such as the presence of white limestone or other geographical features. Lebonah's proximity to Shiloh, a major religious center during the period of the Judges, underscores its potential importance in the tribal confederation of Israel.
