Gibeah of Judah

Gibeah of Judah was a hill-town in the territory of Judah, mentioned in connection with the father-in-law of Michal and as an ancestral seat in the hill country. It is distinct from the more prominent Gibeah of Benjamin (Gibeah of Saul) and from Gibeah of Phinehas. The exact identification of the site remains uncertain, but it lay in the Judean highlands. Several passages use the simple designation "Gibeah" for towns in this region, requiring contextual reading to distinguish them.
