Where is Lebonah in the Bible?

Lebonah was a small village in ancient Israel located in the territory of Ephraim, near the important religious center of Shiloh. The place appears in the Bible only in Judges 21:19, where it is mentioned as a landmark on the route between Shiloh and Nablus in what is now the West Bank. Lebonah served as a geographical reference point during the period of the judges, specifically in the context of the Benjamite crisis when the other tribes of Israel were seeking to resolve a serious conflict. Today, the site is identified with a modest village in the Palestinian territories, situated on a hillside with numerous ancient rock tombs nearby, reflecting its long history of habitation.
