From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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).
