JU'BA, a man’s name. 
JU'BA I. king of Numidin, w’as the fon of Hiempfal, a 
defcendant of Mafliniffa. When the civil war broke out 
between Casfar and Pompey, he took part with the latter, 
and defeated Curio, one of Caffar’s lieutenants in Africa, 
■who perilhed in the aftion. On this occafion he is faid to 
have inhumanly maffacred a number of his prifoners. He 
afterwards marched to the afliftance of Scipio, the chief 
Pompeian commander in Africa. They were joined by 
Cato, who, in the fpirit of Roman republicanifm, repreffed 
the pride of Juba, who attempted to take place above 
Scipio. Caefar, afterwards arriving with an army in the 
country, engaged fucceffively the troops of Scipio, Juba, 
and Labienus, near Thapfus, and gained poflefiion of all 
their camps. Juba, feeing that all was loft, refolved upon 
a Roman death, and he and Petreius fell by mutual 
wounds, B. C. 46. 
JU'BA II. king of Mauritania, fon of the former, was 
very young at the time of his father’s misfortune, and was 
led as a captive in Caefar’s triumph over that prince. The 
viftor, however, compenfated this humiliation, by bellow¬ 
ing upon him a liberal education, fuited to his rank, in 
confequence of which he became one of the moft learned 
men of his time, and attained a confpicuous place among 
royal authors. He was in great favour with Auguftus, 
v/hofe party he followed againft Anthony, and who be¬ 
llowed upon him the kingdom of Gaetulia, containing the 
territories which belonged to Bocchus and Bogud. He 
alfo gave him to wife Cleopatra Selene, the daughter of 
queen Cleopatra by Anthony. Juba governed his domi¬ 
nions with a fpirit of jultice and lenity which gained him 
the hearts of his fubjefts. He diftinguilhed liimfelf as a 
writer by various learned works, which were highly 
efteemed, and are quoted by Pliny, Strabo, Plutarch, Ta¬ 
citus, and other authors. Thefe related to the hiftory and 
antiquities of the Arabians, Afiyrians, and Romans, the 
hiftory of theatres, of painting and painters, of the na¬ 
ture and properties of different animals, and a particular 
treatife on the virtues of the herb Euphorbia, which he 
fo named from his phyfician. Other works are alfo af- 
cribed to him; but, of all his writings, only a few frag¬ 
ments have reached modern times. He died about A. D.

Angels utt’ring joy, heav’n rung 
With jubilee, and loud hofannas fill’d 
Th’ eternal regions. Milton. 
Jubilee, in Hebrew antiquity, a grand fellival among 
the Jews. The jubilee-year was the fiftieth year, or that 
which occurred after feven weeks of feven years, or feven 
times feven years. Ye Jhall hallow the Jftietk year ; and it 
Jhall be a jubilee unto you. Lev. xxv. 10. Not with Handing 
the clearnefs of this text, feveral commentators maintain 
that the jubilee was celebrated on the forty-ninth year, the 
lait year of the feventh week of years. Mofes favours this 
opinion, Lev. xxv. 8. Thou Jhalt number J'even fabbaths of 
years, feven times feven years, and the Jpace of the feven fab- 
baths of years flail be unto thee forty and nine years. They 
who maintain this, fliow the inconveniency of celebrating 
the jubilee in the fiftieth year, i. e. after the fabbatical 
reft of the forty-ninth year ; as thefe two years of reft, 
following one the other, might be attended with danger¬ 
ous coniequences in any country, and produce a famine. 
The Hebrew jobel iignifies, according to fome rabbins, a 
ram’s horn, with which the jubilee-year was proclaimed. 
But how could a ram’s horn, which is folid, and not hol¬ 
low, be ufed -ns a trumpet ? It was therefore in all pro¬ 
bability a brazen trumpet in the form of a ram’s horn. 
Others derive the word from jubal, which formerly figni- 
fied, they fay, to play on inftruments. Calmet is of 
opinion, that it comes from the verb hobel, to bring or call 
back ; becaufe then every thing was reftored to its firlfc 
poffeffor. 
The jubilee-year began on the firft day of Tizri, (the 
firft month of the civil year, anlwering to our September,) 
and about the autumnal equinox. In this year no one 
either fowed or reaped; but all were fatisfied with what 
the earth and the trees produced of themfelves. Each 
took poffeflion again of his inheritance, whether it were 
fold, mortgaged, or alienated. Hebrew flaves were fet free, 
with their wives and children ; even they who had re¬ 
nounced the privilege, which the fabhatical-year gave 
them, of recovering their liberty; and all foreign flaves en¬ 
joyed the right of the jubilee. For other particulars, fee 
Lev. xxv. 
To reconcile the two opinions, whether the jubilee was 
celebrated in the fiftieth year, (as Mofes requires. Lev. xxv. 
6 E 10.
