Geba
the hill, (
2 Sam. 5:25 [
1 Chr. 14:16, "Gibeon"];
2 Kings 23:8;
Neh. 11:31), a Levitical city of Benjamin (
1 Kings 15:22;
1 Sam. 13:16;
14:5, wrongly "Gibeah" in the A.V.), on the north border of Judah near Gibeah (
Isa. 10:29;
Josh. 18:24,
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
