What Original Readers Understood
Supported# Gibea: A Single Biblical Reference Based on the lexical data provided, Gibea (H1388, גִּבְעָא) appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. The entry identifies it as a proper noun—specifically a place name—though the lexicon provides no additional descriptive information about its characteristics, location, or historical context. The extremely limited attestation of this term in the biblical text prevents any detailed analysis of its usage patterns or semantic range. With a single occurrence, no meaningful conclusions can be drawn about how the word was employed differently across various texts or contexts, or what roles this location played in biblical narratives. The lexicon offers only the bare identification that this is a geographical designation. Without supplementary information from the lexicon itself regarding the location's significance, associated events, or etymological derivation, this entry represents merely a catalogued place name in the Hebrew Bible. Further understanding of Gibea's importance would require consulting the specific biblical passage where it appears, though such analysis would extend beyond the scope of the lexical data provided.
