Strong's Lexicon Gibon: Gibeon Original Word: גִּבְעוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּבַע (gāvaʿ), meaning "hill" or "height." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Gibeon, the city is mentioned in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Old Testament, as Γαβαων (Gabaon). Usage: Gibeon is a significant city in the ancient land of Canaan, known for its strategic location and its inhabitants, the Gibeonites. The name itself suggests a place of elevation or prominence, fitting its geographical and historical importance. Cultural and Historical Background: Gibeon was a major city of the Hivites, one of the Canaanite tribes. It is famously known for the cunning treaty the Gibeonites made with Joshua and the Israelites, as recorded in Joshua 9. The city later became a Levitical city and a place of worship, where the tabernacle was located for a time (1 Chronicles 16:39). Gibeon was also the site of significant battles, including the one where Joshua commanded the sun to stand still (Joshua 10:12-14).
