Dict: easton - Gibeah

easton:

Gibeah @ a hill or hill-town, "of Benjamin" ( kjv@1Samuel:13:15), better known as "Gibeah of Saul" (11:4; kjv@Isaiah:10:29). It was here that the terrible outrage was committed on the Levite's concubine which led to the almost utter extirpation of the tribe of Benjamin kjv@Judges:19; 20), only six hundred men surviving after a succession of disastrous battles. This was the birthplace of Saul, and continued to be his residence after he became king ( kjv@1Samuel:10:26 kjv@1Samuel:11:4 kjv@1Samuel:15:34 ). It was reckoned among the ancient sanctuaries of Palestine (10:26; 15:34; 23:19; 26:1; kjv@2Samuel:21:6-10), and hence it is called "Gibeah of God" ( kjv@1Samuel:10:5, R.V. marg.). It has been identified with the modern Tell el
- Ful (i.e., "hill of the bean"), about 3 miles north of Jerusalem.

Gibeah of Judah @ kjv@Joshua:15:57), a city in the mountains of Judah, the modern Jeba, on a hill in the Wady Musurr, about 7 1/2 miles west-south-west of Bethlehem.

Gibeah of Phinehas @ kjv@Joshua:15:57, R.V. marg.), a city on Mount Ephraim which had been given to Phinehas (24:33 "hill," A.V.; R.V. marg. and Heb., "Gibeah."). Here Eleazar the son of Aaron was buried. It has been identified with the modern Khurbet Jibia, 5 miles north of Guphna towards Shechem.
