Giah
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
GIAH . Named in the account of Joab’s pursuit of Abner ( 2 Samuel 2:24 ). Its situation is quite unknown; it is even doubtful whether the mention of Giah is not due to textual corruption.
Morrish Bible Dictionary [2]
Place mentioned only in describing the position of the hill Ammah. 2 Samuel 2:24 .
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]
("valley".) 2 Samuel 2:24. Facing Ammah, "by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon."
Holman Bible Dictionary [4]
2 Samuel 2:24
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [5]
(Heb. Gi'acl, גִּיחִ , a Breaking Forth sc. of a Fountain; Sept. Γιέ v.r. Γαί , Vulg. simply Vallis), a place (probably marked by a spring) opposite the hill Ammah, on the road to the "wilderness (east?) of Gibeon," where Joab and Abishai ceased at sun-down from the pursuit of Abner after the death of Asahel ( 1 Samuel 2:24). It is perhaps identical with the " pool" mentioned in 1 Samuel 2:13, although in that case the parties must have become far separated in the rout, since they would thus have returned to the spot where the battle began. (See Gibeon).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [6]
gı̄´a ( גּיח , gı̄aḥ ): An unidentified place on the route followed by Abner in his flight, pursued by Joab ( 2 Samuel 2:24 ). Septuagint renders Gaı́ , corresponding to the Hebrew gē , "valley." The form gı̄aḥ may be due to corruption of the text.
