Levitical city in Benjamin (Josh. 21:17; 2 Sam. 5:25; 2 Kings 23:8; 1 Chron. 6:60; 1 Chron. 8:6; Neh. 11:31; Neh. 12:29; Isa. 10:29; Zech. 14:10). Apparently while Saul was king the Philistines had a garrison there, which Jonathan smote (1 Sam. 13:3). The city was built or rebuilt long afterward by Asa (1 Kings 15:22; 2 Chron. 16:6). It is called GABA (Josh. 18:24; Ezra 2:26; Neh. 7:30); and GIBEAH (1 Sam. 13:2-16; 1 Sam. 14:2-16). In 2 Samuel 5:25 Geba should probably be read Gibeon (compare 1 Chron. 14:16). Identified with Jeba, 31° 52' N, 35° 15' E.
