From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Tabor
     a height. (1.) Now Jebel et-Tur, a cone-like prominent mountain,
     11 miles west of the Sea of Galilee. It is about 1,843 feet
     high. The view from the summit of it is said to be singularly
     extensive and grand. This is alluded to in Ps. 89:12; Jer.
     46:18. It was here that Barak encamped before the battle with
     Sisera (q.v.) Judg. 4:6-14. There is an old tradition, which,
     however, is unfounded, that it was the scene of the
     transfiguration of our Lord. (See {HERMON}.) "The
     prominence and isolation of Tabor, standing, as it does, on the
     border-land between the northern and southern tribes, between
     the mountains and the central plain, made it a place of note in
     all ages, and evidently led the psalmist to associate it with
     Hermon, the one emblematic of the south, the other of the
     north." There are some who still hold that this was the scene of
     the transfiguration (q.v.).
     
       (2.) A town of Zebulum (1 Chr. 6:77).
     
       (3.) The "plain of Tabor" (1 Sam. 10:3) should be, as in the
     Revised Version, "the oak of Tabor." This was probably the
     Allon-bachuth of Gen. 35:8.
