Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834]
Geba - Better, as in marginal reference "Gibeon." Gazer should be "Gezer" (Jos 10:33, etc.); it lay between the nether Bethhoron and the sea; on the direct route therefore which the Philistines, fleeing from Gibeon, would take. The exact site has now been identified (Kg1 9:16).
