Geba (2 Nephi 20:29) was a town belonging to Benjamin, 11 kilometers north of Jerusalem and 5 kilometers from Gibeah from which it is to be distinguished; (Joshua 18:24, 28; Isaiah 10:29). It was assigned to the Levites under Joshua (Joshua 21:17; 1 Chronicles 6:60). It was here that Jonathan the son of Saul, made a successful foray against the Philistine garrison (1 Samuel 13:3). In the days of Asa, king of Judah, it was fortified, and then regarded as the northern limit of Judah. [Tyndale House, The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Vol. 1, pp. 554-555]
