 Hebron.
 (Bhs. Ibr.: [tempat] perjanjian. Di kemudian harinya adalah nama
 bagi Kiryat-Arba [/TB Kej 23:2; Yos 15:13,54 dbtl.]).

      Sebuah kerajaan kota kuno yang penting di bagian selatan
 pegunungan Yuda. 37 km sebelah selatan Yerusalem pada jalan ke
 Beersyeba. Menurut catatan /TB Bil 13:22 kota ~H berasal dari zaman
 tembaga-tengahan. Pada zaman pra-Isr. tempat itu dihuni orang-orang
 Anak dan di kemudian harinya menjadi milik orang-orang Kaleb
 (/TB Bil 13:22; Yos 15:13-14). Terkenal di situ adalah tempat kudus
 --> Mamre dan kuburan --> Makhpela, yang dikaitkan dengan nama-nama
 para nenek-moyang Isr. Kitab /TB Yos 15:54; 20:7 menyebutkan bahwa ~H
 adalah sebuah kota Yehuda. Letaknya sangat menguntungkan, sehingga
 menjadi tempat pertahanan Yehuda yang paling penting. Di situ Daud
 memperoleh perlindungan dari kerajaan Saul (/TB 1Sam 30:31). Di situ
 pula Daud tinggal sampai ia dapat menguasai Yerusalem
 (/TB 2Sam 2:1-5:5). Setelah itu ~H mulai mengalami kemunduran. Pada
 saat setelah pembagian kerajaan, Yerobeam menguati kota ~H.
 (/TB 2Taw 11:5-12). Sesudah Yerusalem hancur, rupanya ~H lalu jatuh ke
 tangan bangsa Edom. Kitab 1Mak 5:65 mengatakan, bahwa ~H itu milik
 orang-orang Edom. -- Kota ~H kuno dicari orang di sebelah barat
 el-khalil. Di situ orang (Arab) menunjukkan kuburan-kuburan para
 nenek moyang Isr. Mesjid yang didirikan di atasnya adalah sebuah
 basilika dari zaman perang salib dan dirubah menjadi mesjid.
 Letaknya ada di atas tembok buatan Herodes. Peta PB/PL B7.

Hebron
 
 A community; alliance.
  1. A city in the south end of the valley of Eshcol, about midway
     between Jerusalem and Beersheba, from which it is distant about
     20 miles in a straight line. It was built "seven years before
     Zoan in Egypt" Ge 13:18 Nu 13:22 It still exists under the same
     name, and is one of the most ancient cities in the world. Its
     earlier name was Kirjath-arba Ge 23:2 Jos 14:15 15:3 But
     "Hebron would appear to have been the original name of the city,
     and it was not till after Abraham's stay there that it received
     the name Kirjath-arba, who [i.e., Arba] was not the founder but
     the conqueror of the city, having led thither the tribe of the
     Anakim, to which he belonged. It retained this name till it came
     into the possession of Caleb, when the Israelites restored the
     original name Hebron" (Keil, Com.). The name of this city does
     not occur in any of the prophets or in the New Testament. It is
     found about forty times in the Old. It was the favorite home of
     Abraham. Here he pitched his tent under the oaks of Mamre, by
     which name it came afterwards to be known; and here Sarah died,
     and was buried in the cave of Machpelah Ge 23:17-20 which he
     bought from Ephron the Hittite. From this place the patriarch
     departed for Egypt by way of Beersheba Ge 37:14 46:1 It was
     taken by Joshua and given to Caleb Jos 10:36,37 12:10 14:13 It
     became a Levitical city and a city of refuge Jos 20:7 21:11
     When David became king of Judah this was his royal residence,
     and he resided here for seven and a half years 2Sa 5:5 and here
     he was anointed as king over all Israel 2Sa 2:1-4,11 1Ki 2:11
     It became the residence also of the rebellious Absalom
     2Sa 15:10 who probably expected to find his chief support in
     the tribe of Judah, now called el-Khulil. In one part of the
     modern city is a great mosque, which is built over the grave of
     Machpelah. The first European who was permitted to enter this
     mosque was the Prince of Wales in 1862 It was also visited by
     the Marquis of Bute in 1866 and by the late Emperor Frederick of
     Germany (then Crown-Prince of Prussia) in 1869 One of the
     largest oaks in Palestine is found in the valley of Eshcol,
     about 3 miles north of the town. It is supposed by some to be
     the tree under which Abraham pitched his tent, and is called
     "Abraham's oak."
