Gibeah

Also known as Gibeah of Saul

Gibeah was a town of the tribe of Benjamin, a few kilometres north of Jerusalem, described in the Hebrew Bible as the home and royal seat of Saul, the first king of Israel. It is usually identified with Tell el-Ful, where excavations found a fortified structure of the Iron Age, though its dating and connection with Saul are debated.
