Gill's Notes on the Bible
Also from the house of Gilgal,.... Which likewise was in a champaign country in the plains of Jericho, Deuteronomy 11:30,
and out of the fields of Geba; which was a Levitical city in the tribe of Benjamin, Joshua 21:17
and Azmaveth; the same with Bethazmaveth, Nehemiah 7:28 where it follows Anathoth and Netophah, as it does in Ezra 2:24, and was very probably in the tribe of Benjamin:
for the singers had builded them villages round about Jerusalem; that they might be near it, to do their duty when required; by which it appears that the said places were near Jerusalem.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The house of Gilgal - Or, “Beth-Gilgal” - probably the Gilgal north of Jerusalem (now “Jiljilia).
