Magbish
One hundred fifty-six men came back from Babylon with Zerubbabel under this name. Whether it is a town or an ancestor is argued, and if a town, no one has found it.

Magbish appears once, in the list of families and towns whose people returned from Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel, a group of 156 men identified by it (Ezra 2:30). Whether Magbish names a place or an ancestor is debated, since most of the surrounding entries in that list are towns but a few are clearly clan names. Its location, if a place, has not been identified.
