Gibeon

West Bank, Israel

Gibeon (Giḇəʻōn, Gabaōn) was a Canaanite and later an Israelite city, which was located north of Jerusalem. According to Joshua 11:19, the pre-Israelite-conquest inhabitants, the Gibeonites, were Hivites; according to 2 Samuel 21:2, they were Amorites, there can be also expected that they were a mingled people, since the city of Jerusalem (whose king discovered the alliance in the narrative of the book of Joshua Joshua 10:1) has her nativity disclosed in Ezekiel 16:3. The remains of Gibeon are located in the southern portion of the Arab-majority village of al-Jib in Area C of the West Bank.
