Exegesis
The locative phrase ba-bā·māh {בַּבָּמָה | ba·bā·māh} ‘at the high place’ is specified by the relative clause ʾă·šer bə·ġivʿōn {אֲשֶׁר בְּגִבְעֽוֹן | ʾă·šer bə·ġivʿōn} ‘which is in Gibeon’. This structure of direct objects, construct chains, and nested prepositional clauses creates a liturgical tableau, and the English preserves nominal sequences and prepositional markers to echo that pattern.
In context — 1 Chronicles 16:39
And Zadok the priest and his brothers, the priests, were before the tabernacle of the LORD at the high place in Gibeon .
