Then King Asa gathered men from throughout Judah and had them carry off the stones and timbers that Baasha had been using at Ramah, and they used them to fortify the cities of Geba and Mizpah.

Chepharammoni, Ophni, and Geba: twelve cities, along with the towns around them.

From the territory of Benjamin they were given four cities: Gibeon, Geba,

Mizpah, Chephirah, Mozah,

Then Samuel called for all the Israelites to meet at Mizpah, telling them, "I will pray to the LORD for you there."

I went to stay with Gedaliah in Mizpah and lived among the people who were left in the land.

I myself will stay in Mizpah and be your representative when the Babylonians come here. But you can gather and store up wine, fruit, and olive oil, and live in the villages you occupy."
