ruler of the Ghassanids
Years: 480 - 528

Jabalah IV ibn al-Ḥārith, known also by the tecnonymic Abū Shamir, in Greek sources found as Gabalas, is a ruler of the Ghassanids.

At first an enemy of the East Roman (Byzantine) Empire, he raids Palestine but is defeated, becoming a Byzantine vassal in 502 until circa 520, and again in 527 until his death a year later.
