gilboa - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Gilboa
  boiling spring, a mountain range, now Jebel Fukua', memorable as
  the scene of Saul's disastrous defeat by the Philistines. Here
  also his three sons were slain, and he himself died by his own
  hand (1 Sam. 28:4; 31:1-8; 2 Sam. 1:6-21; 21:12; 1 Chr. 10:1,
  8). It was a low barren range of mountains bounding the valley
  of Esdraelon (Jezreel) on the east, between it and the Jordan
  valley. When the tidings of this defeat were conveyed to David,
  he gave utterance to those pathetic words in the "Song of the
  Bow" (2 Sam. 1:19-27).
