16:6 Asa drafted laborers to use the materials from Ramah to fortify the northern border of his kingdom. Mizpah is usually identified with Tell en-Nasba, about four miles north of Ramah and two miles from Bethel. Geba was probably located three miles beyond the watershed east of Gibeah, protecting a wadi leading down to Jericho and the sanctuary at Gilgal.
