    Dictionary Summary: The hill, ([2 Sam. 5:25](/2sam#2Sam.5.25) [[1 Chr. 14:16](/1chr#1Chr.14.16), “Gibeon”]; [2 Kings 23:8](/2kgs#2Kgs.23.8); [Neh. 11:31](/neh#Neh.11.31)), a Levitical city of Benjamin ([1 Kings 15:22](/1kgs#1Kgs.15.22); [1 Sam. 13:16](/1sam#1Sam.13.16); [14:5](/1sam#1Sam.14.5), wrongly “Gibeah” in the A.V.), on the north border of Judah near Gibeah ([Isa. 10:29](/isa#Isa.10.29); [Josh. 18:24](/josh#Josh.18.24), [28](/josh#Josh.18.28)). “From Geba to Beersheba” expressed the whole extent of the kingdom of Judah, just as “from Dan to Beersheba” described the whole length of Palestine ([2 Kings 23:8](/2kgs#2Kgs.23.8)). It has been identified with Gaba ([Josh. 18:24](/josh#Josh.18.24); [Ezra 2:26](/ezra#Ezra.2.26); [Neh. 7:30](/neh#Neh.7.30)), now Jeb’a, about 5 1/2 miles north of Jerusalem. 2
