Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from גִּבְעָה (Gibeah), meaning "hill" or "height."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Strong's Greek entries corresponding to the Hebrew term גִּבְעָתִי (Gib'athi) as it is a specific proper noun related to a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: The term "Gibathite" is used to denote a person from Gibeah, a city in ancient Israel. It is a proper noun used to identify individuals associated with this location.

Context: The term גִּבְעָתִי (Gib'athi) refers to an inhabitant of Gibeah, a significant city in the tribal territory of Benjamin. Gibeah is notably mentioned in the context of several biblical narratives, including the tragic story of the Levite's concubine in Judges 19-20, which led to a civil war within Israel. The city is also associated with King Saul, Israel's first king, who hailed from Gibeah (1 Samuel 10:26).

Gibeah's strategic location on a hill made it a prominent site in the region, and its inhabitants, the Gibathites, were recognized as part of the Benjamite tribe. The city's history is marked by both its military significance and its moral challenges, as seen in the biblical accounts.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term "Gibathite" is not directly translated but is understood within the context of the narratives involving Gibeah. The city's legacy is intertwined with the broader history of Israel, reflecting both the triumphs and tribulations of the nation.
