Gebim

Small place north of Jerusalem

Gebim

Gebim is one of the towns on the invading army’s route toward Jerusalem in Isaiah’s oracle, quoted by Nephi (2 Nephi 20:31, paralleling Isaiah 10). As the advance reaches each place, its people react; of Gebim the text says its inhabitants “gather themselves to flee” (2 Nephi 20:31). It is named alongside Madmenah in the same verse and is placed likely in the territory of Benjamin. The record gives no further detail about the town, its people, or its location.
