Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

GOIIM is the Heb. word which in EV [Note: English Version.] is variously rendered ‘Gentiles,’ ‘nations,’ ‘heathen’ (see Preface to RV [Note: Revised Version.] of OT). In the obscure expression in   Genesis 14:1 , where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘king of nations,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] retains Goiim (possibly a corruption from Gutî [a people living to the E. of the little Zab]) as a proper name, although RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] offers the alternative rendering ‘nations.’ The same difference in rendering between AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] is found also in   Joshua 12:23 . Possibly in   Genesis 14:1 the reference may be to the Umman-manda , or ‘hordes’ of northern peoples, who from time to time invaded Assyria (so Sayce).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [3]

gōi´yim ( גּוים , gōyim ): This word, rendered in the King James Version "nations," "heathen," "Gentiles," is commonly translated simply "nations" in the Revised Version (British and American). In   Genesis 14:1 where the King James Version has "Tidal, king of nations," the Revised Version (British and American) retains in the text the Hebrew "Goiim" as a proper name. Some identify with Gutium. The Hebrew word is similarly retained in   Joshua 12:23 .
