Geba:
"And these¹ [are] the sonsª of Ehud:ª these¹ are the headsª of the fathersª of the inhabitantsª ° of Geba,ª and they removedª ° them to¹ Manahath:ª" {1Ch 8:6} + "And Chepharhaammonai,ª and Ophni,ª and Gaba;ª twelveª ª citiesª with their villages:ª" {Jsh 18:24} + "And out of the tribeª ¹ of Benjamin,ª ¹ Gibeonª with¹ her suburbs,ª ¹ Gebaª with¹ her suburbs,ª" {Jsh 21:17} + "And Jonathan² ¹ smoteª °¹ the garrisonª of the Philistinesª that¹ [was] in Geba,ª and the Philistinesª heardª ° [of it].

i.e. covering a hiding place, [Strong's H5954]. "¹ Anathothª with¹ her suburbs,ª and Almonª with¹ her suburbs;ª fourª cities.ª" {Jsh 21:18}, Almon

"And the sonsª of Becher;ª Zemira,ª and Joash,ª and Eliezer,ª and Elioenai,ª and Omri,ª and Jerimoth,ª and Abiah,ª and Anathoth,ª and Alameth.ª All¹ these¹ [are] the sonsª of Becher.ª" {1Ch 7:8} + "And unto Abiatharª the priestª saidª ° the king,ª Get² °¹ thee to Anathoth,ª unto¹ thine own fields;ª for¹ thou¹ [art] worthyª of death:ª but I will not¹ at this¹ timeª put thee to death,ª ° because¹ thou barestª °¹ the arkª of the Lordª GOD² ¹ beforeª Davidª my father,ª and because¹ thou hast been afflictedª ° in all¹ wherein¹ my fatherª was afflicted.ª °" {1Kg 2:26} + "Lift upª ° thy voice,ª O daughterª of² Gallim:ª cause it to be heardª ° unto Laish,ª O poorª Anathoth.ª" {Isa 10:30} + "The wordsª of Jeremiahª the sonª of Hilkiah,ª of¹ the priestsª that¹ [were] in Anathothª in the landª of Benjamin:ª" {Jer 1:1} + "And there shall be¹ no¹ remnantª of them: for¹ I will bringª ° evilª upon¹ the men² ¹ of Anathoth,ª [even] the yearª of their visitation.ª" {Jer 11:23} + "Then Jeremiahª went forthª ° out of Jerusalemª ¹ to go² °¹ into the landª of Benjamin,ª to separate² ° himself¹ thence¹ ¹ in the midstª of the people.ª" {Jer 37:12}

thirteen cities:
Here there are only eleven enumerated; but two more are added in the book of Joshua, Juttah and Gibeon, which make thirteen. "That they fearedª ° greatly,ª because¹ Gibeonª [was] a greatª city,ª as oneª of the royalª cities,ª and because¹ it¹ [was] greaterª than¹ Ai,ª and all¹ the men² ¹ thereof [were] mighty.ª" {Jsh 10:2} + "Maon,ª Carmel,ª and Ziph,ª and Juttah,ª" {Jsh 15:55} + "And Ainª with¹ her suburbs,ª and Juttahª with¹ her suburbs,ª [and]¹ Bethshemeshª with¹ her suburbs;ª nineª citiesª out of¹ ¹ those¹ twoª tribes.ª ... And out of the tribeª ¹ of Benjamin,ª ¹ Gibeonª with¹ her suburbs,ª ¹ Gebaª with¹ her suburbs,ª" {Jsh 21:16-17} + "Davidª therefore didª ° as¹ Godª commandedª ° him: and they smoteª °¹ the hostª of the Philistinesª from Gibeonª ¹ even to¹ Gazer.ª" {1Ch 14:16}; None of the versions give the full number of names, though they all give the whole sum of thirteen; and it is probable that these two cities had been destroyed and lay in ruins when this book was written, and hence were not enumerated.
