Gibea, with Machbenah, daughters or cities founded by Sheva.
Gibea was a name in the genealogy of Judah recorded in 1 Chronicles 2:49 as a daughter of Caleb son of Hezron. The name may refer to a person, a place, or a clan, reflecting the ancient practice by which personal names, place names, and clan names overlapped in Hebrew genealogical tradition. Her mention as a daughter of Caleb places her in one of Judah's most prominent family lines during the formative period before the monarchy.
