• גִּיחַ

(Heb. Gi'acl, גִּיחִ , a breaking forth sc. of a fountain; Sept. Γιέ v.r. Γαί, Vulg. simply vallis), a place (probably marked by a spring) opposite the hill Ammah, on the road to the "wilderness (east?) of Gibeon," where Joab and Abishai ceased at sun-down from the pursuit of Abner after the death of Asahel (1 Samuel 2:24). It is perhaps identical with the " pool" mentioned in 1 Samuel 2:13, although in that case the parties must have become far separated in the rout, since they would thus have returned to the spot where the battle began. (See GIBEON).
