E. of Jordan (2 Samuel 17:27). Here at the house of Machir, son of Ammiel, Mephibosheth found a home after Saul's death (2 Samuel 9:4-5) Perhaps the Debir of Joshua 13:26, where Lidebir is the Hebrew (the "l" is part of the word, not as KJV "of"). Machir remembered David's kindness to Mephibosheth in the distress of the latter, therefore sent provisions to David in his distress at Mahanaim (W. of Lodebar). The name means the driving out of flocks (Gesenius), else without pasture.
