| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + definite article + feminine singular noun used as a proper name (Np). |
| Rendering Rationale | The form combines the preposition בְּ (in) with the definite article and the feminine noun גִּבְעָה, here functioning as a proper place name. Rendering it as "in the Hill" preserves both the locative prefix and the root sense of elevated height while reflecting its toponymic use. |
