Watson's Biblical & Theological Dictionary
MOUNT, a ridge of mountains on the north of Bethshan, or Scythopolis forming in that part the boundary of the plain of Jordan to the west. It is memorable from the defeat of Saul by the Philistines; when his three sons were slain, and he himself died by his own hand, his armour- bearer refusing to kill him, 1 Samuel 31.
