Magbish:
mag'-bish (maghbish; Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Magebos; Codex Alexandrinus Maabeis): An unidentified town in Benjamin, 156 of the inhabitants of which are said to have returned from exile with Zerubbabel (Ezr 2:30). It does not appear in Nehemiah's list (Ne 7:33). Septuagint (Codex Vaticanus), however, has Magebos. The name is probably identical with Magpiash, "one who sealed the covenant" (Ne 10:20).
Magbish:
(congregating) a proper name in Ezra 2:30 but whether of a man or of a place is doubtful; probably the latter, as all the names from Ezra 2:20-34, except Elam and Harim, are names of places.
