 tabor
      n : a small drum with one head of soft calfskin [syn: tabour]
 Tabor
    a height. (1.) Now Jebel et-Tur, a cone-like prominent mountain,
    11 miles west of the Sea of Galilee. It is about 1,843 feet
    high. The view from the summit of it is said to be singularly
    extensive and grand. This is alluded to in Ps. 89:12; Jer.
    46:18. It was here that Barak encamped before the battle with
    Sisera (q.v.) Judg. 4:6-14. There is an old tradition, which,
    however, is unfounded, that it was the scene of the
    transfiguration of our Lord. (See HERMON.) "The
    prominence and isolation of Tabor, standing, as it does, on the
    border-land between the northern and southern tribes, between
    the mountains and the central plain, made it a place of note in
    all ages, and evidently led the psalmist to associate it with
    Hermon, the one emblematic of the south, the other of the
    north." There are some who still hold that this was the scene of
    the transfiguration (q.v.).
      (2.) A town of Zebulum (1 Chr. 6:77).
      (3.) The "plain of Tabor" (1 Sam. 10:3) should be, as in the
    Revised Version, "the oak of Tabor." This was probably the
    Allon-bachuth of Gen. 35:8.
