Geba

Geba was a town in the land given to the tribe of Benjamin. It was one of the towns given to the Levites (Joshua 18:24; 21:17). It was about 11.3 kilometers (7 miles) northeast of Jerusalem and south of Michmash (1 Samuel 14:5; Isaiah 10:29).

Geba is easy to confuse with Gibeah. Both were in the land of Benjamin, and both names mean “hill.” Gibeah was to the southwest of Geba and was the hometown of Saul, Israel’s first king. The phrase, "from Geba to Beersheba” was used to show the full length of Judah’s land. It referred to the northern and southern extremities of the tribe of Judah (2 Kings 23:8).
