What is Gabaon?
Gabaon is the spelling used in the Latin Vulgate and the Douay-Rheims translation for Gibeon. In the King James Version its inhabitants heard what Joshua had done unto Jericho and to Ai (Joshua 9:3), and Joshua afterward made peace with them and a league to let them live (Joshua 9:15). Gibeon is described there as a great city, one of the royal cities, greater than Ai, and all the men of it were mighty (Joshua 10:2).
