GEBA

the hill, (2-Sam 5:25 [1-Chr 14:16, 1-Chr 14: "Gibeon"]; 2-Kings 23:8; Neh. 11:31), a Levitical city of Benjamin (1-Kings 15:22; 1-Sam 13:16;14:5, 14: wrongly "Gibeah" in the A.V.), on the north border of Judah near Gibeah (Isa. 10:29; Josh. 18:24, 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). It has been identified with Gaba (Josh. 18:24; Ezra 2:26; Neh. 7:30), now Jeb'a, about 5 1/2 miles north of Jerusalem.
