This Tabor entry refers to the tree or landmark called the oak of Tabor in Saul's early narrative, not to the town or mountain. It is important because one familiar name can point to very different kinds of places. First appears in 1 Sam 10:3.1
AI summary: Tabor matters here as a named landmark on the route into Saul's calling story. The record belongs to the geography of signs and transition rather than to a town tradition.1
The “plain of Tabor” (1 Sam. 10:3) should be, as in the Revised Version, “the oak of Tabor.” This was probably the Allon-bachuth of Gen. 35:8. 3
