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

Gebal @ a line (or natural boundary, as a mountain range). (1.) A tract in the land of Edom south of the Dead Sea Psalms:83:7); now called Djebal. (2.) A Phoenician city, not far from the sea coast, to the north of Beyrout Ezekiel:27:9); called by the Greeks Byblos. Now Jibeil. Mentioned in the Amarna tablets. An important Phoenician text, referring to the temple of Baalath, on a monument of Yehu-melek, its king (probably B.C. 600), has been discovered.

Gebalites @ (kjvKings:5:18 R.V., in A.V. incorrectly rendered, after the Targum, "stone-squarers," but marg. "Giblites"), the inhabitants of Gebal (2).
