A mountain range in Israel where King Saul and his sons fell in battle against the Philistines, ending his dynasty and opening the way for David's rise. The mountain's name became inseparable from this catastrophe: David's lament over Saul and Jonathan begins with a curse on Gilboa's heights. The battle there marks a turning point in Israel's history.
