From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jabbok
      a pouring out, or a wrestling, one of the streams on the east of
      Jordan, into which it falls about midway between the Sea of
      Galilee and the Dead Sea, or about 45 miles below the Sea of
      Galilee. It rises on the eastern side of the mountains of
      Gilead, and runs a course of about 65 miles in a wild and deep
      ravine. It was the boundary between the territory of the
      Ammonites and that of Og, king of Bashan (Josh. 12:1-5; Num.
      21:24); also between the tribe of Reuben and the half tribe of
      Manasseh (21:24; Deut. 3:16). In its course westward across the
      plains it passes more than once underground. "The scenery along
      its banks is probably the most picturesque in Palestine; and the
      ruins of town and village and fortress which stud the
      surrounding mountain-side render the country as interesting as
      it is beautiful." This river is now called the Zerka, or blue
      river.

   Jabez
      affiction. (1.) A descendant of Judah, of whom it is recorded
      that "God granted him that which he requested" (1 Chr. 4:9, 10).
     
         (2.) A place inhabited by several families of the scribes (1
      Chr. 2:55).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Jebus
      trodden hard, or fastness, or "the waterless hill", the name of
      the Canaanitish city which stood on Mount Zion (Josh. 15:8;
      18:16, 28). It is identified with Jerusalem (q.v.) in Judg.
      19:10, and with the castle or city of David (1 Chr. 11:4,5). It
      was a place of great natural strength, and its capture was one
      of David's most brilliant achievements (2 Sam. 5:8).
