Al Jib or al-Jib ((アラビア語:الجيب)) is a Palestinian village in the Jerusalem Governorate, located ten kilometers northwest of Jerusalem, in the seam zone of the West Bank. The surrounding lands are home to ''Al Jib Bedouin''. Since 1967, Al Jib is occupied by Israel and about 90% of its lands are assigned as Area C. About a quarter of the land is seized by Military Orders for the establishment of Israeli settlements. The neighborhood Al Khalayleh was separated by the West Bank barrier. According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics, al-Jib had a population of approximately 4,700 in 2006.〔(Projected Mid -Year Population for Jerusalem Governorate by Locality 2004- 2006 ) Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics〕 The modern village is identified with the ancient city of Gibeon. ==History== The first scientific identification of al-Jib with the ancient Canaanite city of Gibeon was made by Edward Robinson in 1838.〔Brooks, 2005, p. 93-94.〕〔Robinson and Smith, 1841, vol 2, p. ( 137 )〕 Archaeological excavations led by James Pritchard in 1956, 1957, and 1959 confirmed this identification with the discovery of 56 jar handles inscribed with the Semitic triliteral ''gb'n''.〔 The inscriptions were dated to the end of the Judean monarchy and have been cross-referenced against genealogical lists in the Book of Chronicles. While they include many Benjaminite names, they also include non-Israelite names, attesting to the intermixing of local population.〔 A vaulted building still remaining in the centre of Al Jib has been dated from between mid fifth and mid eight centuries CE.〔Pringle, 1993, p. (279 )〕 The building has earlier been described as a church〔Guérin, 1868, p. (385 )〕 from the Crusader era, with "total length of the chapel appears to have been 40 feet east and west, 22 feet north and south. The apses have been apparently built up. There were three bays of arches, and in the side walls are small doors with lintels".〔Conder and Kitchener, 1883, SWP III, p. (100 )〕 D. Pringle dismissed the possibility that this was a former church, and suggest instead that it was an Umayyad palace building, or possibly dating from the Abbasid era.〔Pringle, 1983, p. 158〕 In 1152, during the Crusader era, a confrater of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Baldwin of Tournai, was granted a prebend relating to ''juxta Gabeon''.〔de Roziére, 1849, p. (242 ), No. 130; cited in Röhricht, 1893, RRH, pp. (68 )-69, No. 271; cited in Pringle, 1983, p. 145〕 In 1172, after the fall of Jerusalem, Saladin halted at Al Jib, before continuing to Beit Nuba.〔Behâ ed-Dîn, 1897, p. (360 ), cited in Pringle, 1983, p. 145〕 ''El-Jib'' was described by the geographer Yâkût in 1225 as having two fortresses standing close together.〔Le Strange, 1890, p.
