About Jabneel

Jabneel was a town located on the border of the territory allocated to the tribe of Naphtali (Joshua 19:33). It was situated in the northern part of Canaan, near the Sea of Galilee. This Jabneel is distinct from the Jabneel (Jabneh) mentioned in the territory of Judah. Its exact location remains uncertain.
