This Gibeon entry refers to the returnee family or house-name listed in Ezra and Nehemiah, not to the place itself. It belongs to the household-level reality of post-exilic repopulation. First appears in Ezra 2:20.1
AI summary: This Gibeon matters because the cross references place the name among the families returning to rebuild life in Judah after exile. Even when a name is better known as a place, the returnee list preserves it here as a house within the restored community. Taken together, the material presents this Gibeon as a returnee family name contributing to the social recovery of the land.1
