About this place
Jabneel, also known as Jabneh, was a town located on the northwestern border of the tribe of Judah, near the Mediterranean Sea (Joshua 15:11). During the reign of King Uzziah of Judah, the town was fortified as part of his military campaigns against the Philistines (2Ch.26.6). The city later became known as Jamnia and served as a center of Jewish learning and the seat of the Sanhedrin after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD. Today, it is known as Yavne, a city in central Israel.
