Where the Gibeonites tricked Joshua into a peace treaty
BenjaminA Canaanite city northwest of Jerusalem whose inhabitants tricked Joshua into making a peace treaty by pretending to be from a distant land (Joshua 9). God later honored the treaty — when Saul violated it years later, a famine struck Israel. Solomon received his famous dream at Gibeon, where God told him to ask for anything, and Solomon asked for wisdom (1 Kings 3:4-15).
