Next to them repaired Melatyah the Giv`oni, and Yadon the Meronotite, the men of Giv`on, and of Mitzpah, [that appertained] to the throne of the governor beyond the River.
The king called the Giv`onim, and said to them (now the Giv`onim were not of the children of Yisra'el, but of the remnant of the Amori; and the children of Yisra'el had sworn to them: and Sha'ul sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Yisra'el and Yehudah);
Then Asa the king took all Yehudah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Ba`sha had built; and he built therewith Geva and Mitzpah.
Next to him repaired Etzer the son of Yeshua, the ruler of Mitzpah, another portion, over against the ascent to the armory at the turning [of the wall].
