Daberath is the name of a Levitical city in Issachar, at the foot of Mount Tabor. When the land of Israel was divided, this town came to be within the borders of Issachar. Later it was assigned to the Levitical caste of the Gershomites (1 Chronicles 6:72).
The first occurrence of this name in the Bible is in Joshua 19:12, and there the town's name is preceded by the definite article (the Daberath) suggesting that the name was generally considered to be with a very specific meaning. What that meaning is we don't really know, except that it comes from the highly fertile Hebrew root .
The word (which is also an element of the name Word Of God) usually denotes some formal message. But it may also mean pasture or field. For an extensive look at this amazing root, see our article on the name Dabar.
The NOBS Study Bible Name List translates this name with Pasture. For its treatment of the name Daberath, the otherwise impeccable Dictionary of Old Testament Proper Names of mister Alfred Jones urges the reader to look under Dabarath, but then fails to make an entry for Dabarath. BDB Theological Dictionary has nothing more to say about this town than that nowadays it's known as Deburije, and that it's still at the foot of mount Tabor.
