Treasury of Scripture

Geba.

1 Chronicles 8:6 And these are the sons of Ehud: these are the heads of the fathers of the inhabitants of Geba, and they removed them to Manahath:

Joshua 18:24 And Chepharhaammonai, and Ophni, and Gaba; twelve cities with their villages:

Joshua 21:17 And out of the tribe of Benjamin, Gibeon with her suburbs, Geba with her suburbs,

1 Samuel 13:3 And Jonathan smote the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it...

Alemeth. i.e., covering a hiding place

Joshua 21:18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.

Almon.
(1) A Levitical city of Benjamin.

1 Chronicles 6:60 And out of the tribe of Benjamin; Geba with her suburbs, and Alemeth with her suburbs, and Anathoth with her suburbs...

called also Almon,

Joshua 21:18 Anathoth with her suburbs, and Almon with her suburbs; four cities.

.
(2) A descendant of Jonathan, son of Saul.

8:36

9:42

(3) Compare Alameth.

1 Chronicles 7:8 And the sons of Becher; Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth...

son of Becher. Almon and Alemeth having the same signification, are perfectly interchangeable.

Anathoth.

1 Chronicles 7:8 And the sons of Becher; Zemira, and Joash, and Eliezer, and Elioenai, and Omri, and Jerimoth...

.

1 Kings 2:26 And to Abiathar the priest said the king, Get you to Anathoth, to your own fields; for you are worthy of death...

Isaiah 10:30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard to Laish, O poor Anathoth.

Jeremiah 1:1 The words of Jeremiah the son of Hilkiah, of the priests that were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin:

Jeremiah 11:23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil on the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.

Jeremiah 37:12 Then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to separate himself there in the middle of the people.

thirteen cities. Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua--Juttah and Gibeon--which make thirteen.

Joshua 10:2 That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai...

Joshua 15:55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah,

Joshua 21:16,17 And Ain with her suburbs, and Juttah with her suburbs, and Bethshemesh with her suburbs; nine cities out of those two tribes...

1 Chronicles 14:16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.

None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.
