Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for גִּבְלִי (Gibli) as it is a specific proper noun referring to a group of people from a particular region. However, the concept of skilled craftsmen and builders can be related to Greek terms used in the New Testament to describe similar roles, though these are not direct translations or equivalents.

Usage: The term "Gibli" is used to refer to a person from Gebal, a region known for its skilled craftsmen and builders. It appears in the context of describing the people who contributed to the construction and maintenance of significant structures, such as Solomon's temple.

Context: • The term "Gibli" is specifically mentioned in the context of the skilled laborers who were involved in the construction of King Solomon's temple. In 1 Kings 5:18 (BSB), it is noted that "Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple." This highlights the Gebalites' reputation for their expertise in stone cutting and construction.
• Gebal, the region associated with the Gebalites, is identified with the ancient city of Byblos, located in modern-day Lebanon. Byblos was a significant center of trade and craftsmanship in the ancient Near East, known for its contributions to architecture and construction.
• The Gebalites' involvement in the temple construction underscores the collaboration between Israel and neighboring regions during Solomon's reign, reflecting the broader cultural and economic exchanges of the period.
