Maareh-Geba
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Maareh-Geba (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] ‘the meadows of Giheah,’ RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ‘the meadow of Geba’). The place from which the men placed in ambush rushed forth to attack the Benjamites ( Judges 20:33 ). There can be little doubt that we ought to emend MT [Note: Massoretic Text.] to ‘ to the west of Geba’ (better Gibeah ).

mā´a - re - gē´ba , - gā´ba ( גּבע מערה , ma‛ărēh gebha‛ ; Septuagint: Codex Vaticanus Μαρααγάβε , Maraagábe ; Codex Alexandrinus δυσμῶν τῆς Γαβαύ , dusmṓn tḗs Gabaá ): The place where the men of Israel lay in ambush, from which they broke forth upon the children of Benjamin ( Judges 20:33 ). the King James Version renders "the meadows of Gibeah," the Revised Version margin "the meadow of Geba (or Gibeah)." The Septuagint's Codex Alexandrinus affords a clue to the correct reading. It to read place-name. The text must be emended to read mimma - ‛ărābh legebha‛ , "to the West of Geba." Peshitta suggests a reading mimme - ‛ārath gebha‛ , "from the cave of Geba." This, however, there is nothing to warrant.
