The site of the city of Gibeon is now identified with a fair degree
of certainty with el-Jib, a site about eight miles north-west of
Jerusalem. Gibeon is mentioned about forty times in the Old
Testament, and was clearly a city of some significance,
particularly at the time of Saul, David and Solomon. Dr Blenkinsopp
examines the evidence, principally contained in the Bible, relating
to Gibeon and the Gibeonites, making use of confirmatory evidence
provided by excavations at el-Jib and ancient Near Eastern
non-biblical writings. He discusses the ethnic identity of the
Gibeonites, the obscure history of the ark before the transfer to
Jerusalem, the role of local sanctuaries, the political and
religious significance of Saul and the events which are described
in the books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles as taking place in and
around Gibeon. Gibeon and Israel is likely to become a standard
work of reference on the subject.
