Open directlySmith's Bible Dictionary · 1863
(congregating), a proper name in (Ezra 2:30) but whether of a man or of a place is doubtful; probably the latter, as all the names from (Ezra 2:20) to 34, except Elam and Harim, are names of places.

MAG'BISH (gathering), probably the name of a place. Ezr 2:30, as all the names from Ezr 2:20-34, except Elam and Harim, are names of places. It is not in the corresponding list in Neh 7. The place was doubtless in the territory of Benjamin.
