Who this is
Gebim was a village just north of Jerusalem whose people are pictured fleeing as an invading army draws near, in the same poetic list of towns in Isaiah's oracle that includes Madmenah (Isa. 10:31). Its name likely comes from a Hebrew word for cisterns or pits, and it is sometimes located near the modern Jerusalem neighborhood of al-Isawiya.
