geba - Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary :

  Geba
  the hill, (2 Sam. 5:25 [1 Chr. 14:16, "Gibeon"]; 2 Kings 23:8;
  Neh. 11:31), a Levitical city of Benjamin (1 Kings 15:22; 1 Sam.
  13:16; 14:5, wrongly "Gibeah" in the A.V.), on the north border
  of Judah near Gibeah (Isa. 10:29; Josh. 18:24, 28). "From Geba
  to Beersheba" expressed the whole extent of the kingdom of
  Judah, just as "from Dan to Beersheba" described the whole
  length of Palestine (2 Kings 23:8). It has been identified with
  Gaba (Josh. 18:24; Ezra 2:26; Neh. 7:30), now Jeb'a, about 5 1/2
  miles north of Jerusalem.
