ZABADEANS

(Gk. Zabadaíoi)

An Arab people, apparently named for their village of Zabad, attacked and crushed by the Hasmonean Jonathan when the Seleucid opponents he had been pursuing eluded him across the Eleutherus River (probably the Nahr el-Kebir in central Lebanon; 1 Macc. 12:31). Since Jonathan promptly returned to the region of Damascus (1 Macc. 12:32), the village was apparently NW of that city, possibly at modern Zebdani, ca. 28 km. (17 mi.) from Damascus (cf. Kepherzabad, “town of Zabad,” NW of Hamath).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
