Maareh-Geba
MAAREH-GEBA (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] the meadows of Giheah, RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] the meadow of Geba).The place from which the men placed in ambush rushed forth to attack the Benjamites (Jdg 20:33). There can be little doubt that we ought to emend MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] to to the west of Geba (better Gibeah).

Maareh-Geba
maa-re-geba, -gaba ( , 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 (Jdg 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 mimma-arabh legebha, to the West of Geba. Peshitta suggests a reading mimme-arath gebha, from the cave of Geba. This, however, there is nothing to warrant.
