Zabadaeans

　　 ZABADÆANS . The name of an Arabian tribe defeated by Jonathan Maccabæus, b.c. 144. According to the account in 1Ma 12:30-32 , its home was to the N.W. of Damascus. Perhaps Zebedâni , on the Anti-Lebanon, about 20 miles on the way from Damascus to Baalbek, represents the ancient name.
