Jabesh
Jabesh was the father of Shallum of the Kingdom of [Israel (Samaria)|Kingdom of Israel] according to the Hebrew Bible.
Jabesh is mentioned In the Books of Kings. However, the passage may instead mention a toponym, identifying that Shallum was "the son" of a city called Jabesh. In this view, Shallum may have originated from the Israelite town of Jabesh-Gilead.
The name means "dry" in Hebrew.
