A Levitical city in the territory of Benjamin, north of Jerusalem; 621 people returned from exile as part of the Ramah-Geba contingent (Nehemiah 7:30)
Benjaminopen_in_newA Levitical city in Benjamin's territory, Geba served as a military outpost and border marker for Israel. It appears in Joshua, Samuel, Kings, and Nehemiah — most notably as a site of Philistine conflict under Saul and Jonathan, and as a landmark defining Judah's northern boundary. After the Babylonian exile, over 600 of its people returned to resettle there.
