It is known for its strategic importance and its role in biblical history. Gibeon was the site of a notable event in <a href="/joshua/9.htm">Joshua 9</a>, where the Gibeonites deceived Joshua and the Israelites into making a peace treaty with them. This incident highlights themes of discernment and the consequences of failing to seek God's guidance. Archaeologically, Gibeon has been identified with the modern village of el-Jib, where excavations have uncovered evidence of a large water system and other structures, confirming its historical significance. Gibeon is also mentioned in <a href="/2_samuel/21.htm">2 Samuel 21:1-14</a>, where a famine during King David's reign is attributed to Saul's earlier actions against the Gibeonites, illustrating the long-lasting impact of past decisions.<p><b>Ramah</b><br>Ramah is a town frequently mentioned in the Old Testament, located in the territory of Benjamin. It is often associated with significant biblical events and figures. In <a href="/1_samuel/7-17.htm">1 Samuel 7:17</a>, Ramah is noted as the home of the prophet Samuel, who judged Israel from there. The town's name means "height" or "high place," reflecting its elevated position, which made it a strategic location. Ramah is also referenced in <a href="/jeremiah/31-15.htm">Jeremiah 31:15</a>, a prophecy later quoted in <a href="/matthew/2-18.htm">Matthew 2:18</a> concerning the mourning of Rachel for her children, symbolizing the sorrow of the mothers in Bethlehem after Herod's massacre of the innocents. This connection to prophecy underscores Ramah's role in the broader narrative of redemption and fulfillment in Christ.<p><b>Beeroth</b><br>Beeroth was one of the cities of the Gibeonite confederation, as mentioned in <a href="/joshua/9-17.htm">Joshua 9:17</a>. It is located in the territory of Benjamin, near the border with Ephraim. The name Beeroth means "wells," indicating the presence of water sources, which were crucial for settlement and survival in the region. Beeroth is also mentioned in <a href="/2_samuel/4-2.htm">2 Samuel 4:2-3</a>, where it is noted that the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and became sojourners there, highlighting the instability and movement of populations during times of conflict. The city's inclusion in the list of towns in <a href="/joshua/18-25.htm">Joshua 18:25</a> emphasizes the comprehensive nature of the land distribution among the tribes of Israel, reflecting God's faithfulness in fulfilling His promises to the descendants of Abraham.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gibeon.htm">Gibeon</a></b><br>A significant city in the territory of Benjamin, known for its strategic location and its inhabitants' cunning treaty with Israel (Joshua 9).
