Connections

וַיִּסְעוּ בְנֵֽי-יִשְׂרָאֵל וַיָּבֹאוּ אֶל-עָֽרֵיהֶם בַּיּוֹם הַשְּׁלִישִׁי וְעָֽרֵיהֶם גִּבְעוֹן וְהַכְּפִירָה וּבְאֵרוֹת וְקִרְיַת יְעָרִֽים׃

And the children of Israel journeyed, and came unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kirjath-jearim.

1 Kings 3:4

וַיֵּלֶךְ הַמֶּלֶךְ גִּבְעֹנָה לִזְבֹּחַ שָׁם כִּי-הִיא הַבָּמָה הַגְּדוֹלָה אֶלֶף עֹלוֹת יַֽעֲלֶה שְׁלֹמֹה עַל הַמִּזְבֵּחַ הַהֽוּא׃

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

1 Samuel 1:1

וַיְהִי אִישׁ אֶחָד מִן-הָרָֽמָתַיִם צוֹפִים מֵהַר אֶפְרָיִם וּשְׁמוֹ אֶלְקָנָה בֶּן-יְרֹחָם בֶּן-אֱלִיהוּא בֶּן-תֹּחוּ בֶן-צוּף אֶפְרָתִֽי׃

Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim-zophim, of mount Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite:

Joshua 10:2

וַיִּֽירְאוּ מְאֹד כִּי עִיר גְּדוֹלָה גִּבְעוֹן כְּאַחַת עָרֵי הַמַּמְלָכָה וְכִי הִיא גְדוֹלָה מִן-הָעַי וְכָל-אֲנָשֶׁיהָ גִּבֹּרִֽים׃

That they feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, as one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof were mighty.

Matthew 27:57

Ὀψίας δὲ γενομένης ἦλθεν ἄνθρωπος πλούσιος ἀπὸ Ἁριμαθαίας τοὔνομα Ἰωσήφ ὃς καὶ αὐτὸς ἐμαθήτευσεν τῷ Ἰησοῦ·

When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:

Isaiah 28:21

כִּי כְהַר-פְּרָצִים יָקוּם יְהוָה כְּעֵמֶק בְּגִבְעוֹן יִרְגָּז לַעֲשׂוֹת מַעֲשֵׂהוּ זָר מַעֲשֵׂהוּ וְלַֽעֲבֹד עֲבֹדָתוֹ נָכְרִיָּה עֲבֹדָתֽוֹ׃

For the LORD shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act.

1 Kings 9:2

וַיֵּרָא יְהוָה אֶל-שְׁלֹמֹה שֵׁנִית כַּֽאֲשֶׁר נִרְאָה אֵלָיו בְּגִבְעֽוֹן׃

That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon.

Joshua 7:17

וַיַּקְרֵב אֶת-מִשְׁפַּחַת יְהוּדָה וַיִּלְכֹּד אֵת מִשְׁפַּחַת הַזַּרְחִי וַיַּקְרֵב אֶת-מִשְׁפַּחַת הַזַּרְחִי לַגְּבָרִים וַיִּלָּכֵד זַבְדִּֽי׃

And he brought the family of Judah; and he took the family of the Zarhites: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and Zabdi was taken:

Joshua 15:34

וְזָנוֹחַ וְעֵין גַּנִּים תַּפּוּחַ וְהָֽעֵינָֽם׃

And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam,

Jeremiah 31:15

כֹּה׀ אָמַר יְהוָה קוֹל בְּרָמָה נִשְׁמָע נְהִי בְּכִי תַמְרוּרִים רָחֵל מְבַכָּה עַל-בָּנֶיהָ מֵאֲנָה לְהִנָּחֵם עַל-בָּנֶיהָ כִּי אֵינֶֽנּוּ׃

Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
