From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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.
