Daberath

Daberath (dab'-e-rath) ("pasture"), a city in the territory of Issachar, near the border of Zebulun. Also called Dabareh, it likely survives as modern town of Deburich. It is important militarily, being located at the foot of Mount Tabor and guarding the entry to the Esdraelon plain. According to Josephus (ii.21.§3), a military garrison was stationed here.
