Gibeon, and Ramah, and Beeroth,

Verse Takeaways

1

Cities with a Story

The list of towns in Benjamin's territory, including Gibeon, Ramah, and Beeroth, is more than just a geographical record. Commentators point out that these were significant locations in Israel's history. Gibeon was home to the Gibeonites who made a famous treaty with Joshua, and Ramah was the hometown of the great prophet Samuel. These names would have evoked rich historical memories for the original readers.
