Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah – a total of ten cities and their towns.

So Israel hid men in ambush outside Gibeah.

O Israel, you have sinned since the time ¹  of Gibeah, and there you have remained. Did not war overtake the evildoers in Gibeah?

Now this is what we will do to Gibeah: We will attack the city as the lot dictates. ¹ 

The Israelites got up the next morning and moved ¹  against Gibeah.

Ithai ¹  son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjaminite territory, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

They have sunk deep into corruption ¹  as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their wrongdoing. He will repay them for their sins.

He said to his servant, ¹  “Come on, we will go into one of the other towns ²  and spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah.”

So they traveled on, ¹  and the sun went down when they were near Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. ² 

The Benjaminites came from their cities and assembled at Gibeah ¹  to make war against the Israelites.

They surrounded the Benjaminites, chased them from Nohah, ¹  and annihilated ²  them all the way to a spot east of Geba. ³ 

Even Saul went to his home in Gibeah. With him went some brave men whose hearts God had touched.

Saul’s watchmen at Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin ¹  looked on ²  as the crowd of soldiers seemed to melt away first in one direction and then in another. ³ 

Then Samuel went to Ramah, while Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.

Heled ¹  son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai son of Ribai from Gibeah in Benjamin,

They went through the pass, spent the night at Geba. Ramah trembled, Gibeah of Saul ran away.

Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah! Sound the alarm in Beth Aven! ¹  Tremble in fear, ²  O Benjamin!

But his master said to him, “We should not stop at a foreign city where non-Israelites live. ¹  We will travel on to Gibeah.”

They stopped there and decided to spend the night ¹  in Gibeah. They came into the city and sat down in the town square, but no one invited them to spend the night. ² 

The Levite, ¹  the husband of the murdered woman, spoke up, “I and my concubine stopped in ²  Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin ³  to spend the night.
