Interpretation

Commentary
There is a cartouche surrounding this inscription and HaNS 347-348 and 350. ʾbl here most likely refers to the city of Abila and its territory. C 2473 [Dn 82] reads l N w ʾhmd ʾbl f rdf m glʿd which I would translate as "and he stayed [see Lane 2900a] in Abila and then returned from Gilead." For Abila see Annual of the Department of Antiquities of Jordan 41, 1997: 303. Gilead stretched from the Arnon in the south to Bashan in the north, and bordered on the desert on its east, (see for instance the Anchor Bible Dictionary (New York, 1992: iii, 1020 s.v. Gilead). Gilead is also mentioned in KRS 15.
