Gibeah

This Gibeah entry refers to the Ephraimite hill associated with Phinehas and Eleazar's burial, not the better-known Gibeah of Benjamin linked with Saul. It is important because it preserves a distinct priestly and burial association within the hill country. First appears in Josh 15:57.1

AI summary: Most readers think first of Gibeah of Saul when they see the name Gibeah, but this entry points elsewhere. Its references connect the place with the hill-country setting of Ephraim and with the burial memory of Eleazar, giving it a priestly and ancestral significance rather than a royal or civil-war one. That makes it a quieter but still meaningful location in Israel's landscape of remembrance. The cross references present this Gibeah as a distinct hill site tied to inheritance and burial rather than to Benjamin's later political history.1
