Nadabath

NADABATH năd’ ə băth (Νάδαβαθ). A place mentioned in 1 Maccabees 9:37. Jonathan and Simon Maccabeus, avenging the execution of their brother John by the “children of Jambri,” a Nabataean tribe, ambushed a wedding procession. The bride was brought from Nadabath to Medeba. This Trans-Jordan city is perhaps the ancient Nebo, mentioned as Nabatha in Josephus’ Antiq. XIII. i. 4. Others identify it with the modern Khirbet et-Teim, S of Medaba.
