Easton's Bible Dictionary

Hill:

(1.) Heb. gib'eah, a curved or rounded hill, such as are common to Palestine (Psa 65:12; 72:3; 114:4,6).

(2.) Heb. har, properly a mountain range rather than an individual eminence (Exd 24:4,12,13,18; Num 14:40,44,45). In Deu 1:7, Jos 9:1; 10:40; 11:16, it denotes the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, which forms the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

(3.) Heb. ma'aleh in 1Sa 9:11. Authorized Version "hill" is correctly rendered in the Revised Version "ascent."

(4.) In Luk 9:37 the "hill" is the Mount of Transfiguration.
