Context: Abi-Gibon is a proper noun found in the genealogical records of the Hebrew Bible. The name is indicative of a familial or ancestral connection to the city of Gibeon, a significant location in the tribal allotment of Benjamin. Gibeon is noted for its historical and strategic importance, particularly during the conquest of Canaan and the subsequent settlement of the Israelites. The name Abi-Gibon suggests a patriarchal figure or a symbolic representation of the city's founding lineage. The city of Gibeon itself is mentioned in various biblical narratives, including the account of the Gibeonite deception in Joshua 9 and the battle where the sun stood still in Joshua 10. Abi-Gibon, therefore, serves as a testament to the enduring legacy and influence of Gibeon within the biblical narrative.
