From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Gareb
      scabby; itch. (1.) One of David's warriors (2 Sam. 23:38), an
      Ithrite.
     
         (2.) A hill near Jerusalem (Jer. 31:39), probably the hill of
      lepers, and consequently a place outside the boundary of the
      city.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Grape
      the fruit of the vine, which was extensively cultivated in
      Palestine. Grapes are spoken of as "tender" (Cant. 2:13, 15),
      "unripe" (Job 15:33), "sour" (Isa. 18:5), "wild" (Isa. 5:2,4).
      (See Rev. 14:18; Micah 7:1; Jer. 6:9; Ezek. 18:2, for figurative
      use of the word.) (See {VINE}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Grave
      Among the ancient Hebrews graves were outside of cities in the
      open field (Luke 7:12; John 11:30). Kings (1 Kings 2:10) and
      prophets (1 Sam. 25:1) were generally buried within cities.
      Graves were generally grottoes or caves, natural or hewn out in
      rocks (Isa. 22:16; Matt. 27:60). There were family cemeteries
      (Gen. 47:29; 50:5; 2 Sam. 19:37). Public burial-places were
      assigned to the poor (Jer. 26:23; 2 Kings 23:6). Graves were
      usually closed with stones, which were whitewashed, to warn
      strangers against contact with them (Matt. 23:27), which caused
      ceremonial pollution (Num. 19:16).
     
         There were no graves in Jerusalem except those of the kings,
      and according to tradition that of the prophetess Huldah.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Grove
      (1.) Heb. 'asherah, properly a wooden image, or a pillar
      representing Ashtoreth, a sensual Canaanitish goddess, probably
      usually set up in a grove (2 Kings 21:7; 23:4). In the Revised
      Version the word "Asherah" (q.v.) is introduced as a proper
      noun, the name of the wooden symbol of a goddess, with the
      plurals Asherim (Ex. 34:13) and Asheroth (Judg. 3:13).
     
         The LXX. have rendered _asherah_ in 2 Chr. 15:16 by "Astarte."
      The Vulgate has done this also in Judg. 3:7.
     
         (2.) Heb. 'eshel (Gen. 21:33). In 1 Sam. 22:6 and 31:13 the
      Authorized Version renders this word by "tree." In all these
      passages the Revised Version renders by "tamarisk tree." It has
      been identified with the Tamariscus orientalis, five species of
      which are found in Palestine.
     
         (3.) The Heb. word 'elon, uniformly rendered in the Authorized
      Version by "plain," properly signifies a grove or plantation. In
      the Revised Version it is rendered, pl., "oaks" (Gen. 13:18;
      14:13; 18:1; 12:6; Deut. 11:30; Josh. 19:33). In the earliest
      times groves are mentioned in connection with religious worship.
      The heathen consecrated groves to particular gods, and for this
      reason they were forbidden to the Jews (Jer. 17:3; Ezek. 20:28).
