Jether, [Yether <\\See definition 03500\\>,] is essentially the same with [YithrÆ’ <\\See definition 03501\\>,] Ithra, the latter only having the addition of an ['Aleph] {aleph;} and it is probable, that he was an Ishmaelite by birth but an Israelite by religion.

[Ithra an Israelite.]

Caleb <03612> [A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.]

Josephus places it in Coelo-syria; and Pliny reckons it among the cities of the Decapolis. It was also called Nobah, after Nobah an Israelite, who conquered it, (Nu 32:42;) which is placed by Eusebius, eight miles south of Heshbon: See Note on Jud 8:11.
