<p> The word means a pitcher. It was a hill near Jerusalem. (See Jeremiah 31:39) If this hill was, as it is said to have been, three miles distant from Jerusalem, it serves to give a beautiful idea of the future extensiveness of the holy city.

<p> ''''' gā´reb ''''' ( גּרב , <i> ''''' gārēbh ''''' </i> ): One of David's "mighty men of the armies" ( 2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40 ), an "Ithrite," i.e. a member of one of the families of Kiriath-jearim (1 Chronicles 2:53 ). Some, however, read <i> '''''ha''''' </i> - <i> '''''yattirı̄''''' </i> for , <i> '''''ha''''' </i> - <i> '''''yithrı̄''''' </i> , thus making him a native of Jattir. See [[Ira]] . </p>

<p> (Heb. Gareb', גָּרֵב , scabby; Sept. Γαρέβ and Γαρήβ ), the name of a man and of a hill. </p> <p> 1. An [[Ithrite]] (q.v.), i.e., descendant of [[Jethro]] or Jether, and one of David's thirty heroes (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40). B.C. 1046. (See [[David]]). </p> <p> 2. A hill (גִּבְעָה ) near Jerusalem, apparently on the north-west, (Jeremiah 31:39). (See [[Jerusalem]]). According to Dr. Barclay, it is "the ridge running from the north-west corner of the city in the direction of Wely Kamat" (City of the [[Great]] King, page 76). (See [[Gath]]). He thinks it may have been so called because [[Gareb]] the Ithrite once owned it, or because it contained quarries for the seclusion of the lepers. </p>
