Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גֶּבַע (gebah), meaning "hill" or "height."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Gibeon, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, references to Gibeon in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name. Usage: Gibeon is mentioned multiple times in the Old Testament, primarily in the context of its inhabitants, the Gibeonites, and their interactions with Israel. It is noted for its strategic location and its role in various biblical narratives. Context: Gibeon was a prominent city in the ancient Near East, situated within the tribal allotment of Benjamin. It is most famously known for the cunning treaty made by the Gibeonites with Joshua, as recorded in Joshua 9. The Gibeonites, fearing the advancing Israelites, deceived Joshua into making a peace treaty with them by pretending to be from a distant land. Despite the deception, the Israelites honored the treaty, and the Gibeonites became servants, as described in Joshua 9:27: "On that day he made them woodcutters and water carriers for the congregation and for the altar of the LORD at the place He would choose, and they are to this day."
