LO-DEBAR. A place in Gilead, near to, and apparently east from, Mahanaim. It was the retreat of Mephibosheth till he was summoned to court by David ( 2 Samuel 9:4-5 ). It is mentioned also upon the occasion of David’s flight to the east of the Jordan ( 2 Samuel 17:27 ). The site has not been recovered. It is perhaps the same as Lidebir of Joshua 13:26 .
