Maareh-Geba:
ma'-a-re-ge'-ba, -ga'-ba (maareh gebha; Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Maraagabe; Codex Alexandrinus dusmon tes Gabaa): The place where the men of Israel lay in ambush, from which they broke forth upon the children of Benjamin (Jud 20:33). the King James Version renders "the meadows of Gibeah," the Revised Version margin "the meadow of Geba (or Gibeah)." The Septuagint's Codex Alexandrinus affords a clue to the correct reading. It to read place-name. The text must be emended to read mimaarabh legebha, "to the West of Geba." Peshitta suggests a reading mime-arath gebha, "from the cave of Geba." This, however, there is nothing to warrant.
