A town included among those which the Jews fortified against the attacks of Holofernes. It is mentioned in two places (Judith 4:4; 15:4,5). Its connection with Jericho in Judith 4:4 has induced Reland to look for it in the neighborhood of that city. He identifies it with Coabis. Conder ("Pal. Explor. Fund Memoirs," 2:231) seeks to identify it with Al-Makhubbi.
