Gebim

Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible

Gebim . A place N. of Jerusalem (  Isaiah 10:31 only). In Eusebius a Geba 5 Roman miles from Gophna, on the way to Neapolis (Shechem), is noticed. This is the modern Jebîa , which, being near the great northern road, is a possible site for Gebim.

(Heb. Gebm', גֵּבַים , cisterns [as in  Jeremiah 14:3, "pits"], or locusts [as in  Isaiah 33:4]; Sept. Γιββεϊ v Σ , Vulg. Gabim), a small place a short distance north of Jerusalem, mentioned between Madmenah and Nob,  Isaiah 10:31, where its inhabitants are prophetically described as fleeing at the approach of the invading Assyrian army. Eusebius and Jerome (Onomast . s.v. Γεβενά , Gebin) identify it with "Geba, a village five miles from Guphna towards Neapolis;" and Schwarz (Palaest. page 131) identifies it with the Gob of  2 Samuel 21:18); but both these are at variance with the order of the places named by the prophet. The associated hocalities require a position corresponding to that of the present El- Isawiyeh, a little village in a valley near the road leading N.E. from Jerusalem (Robinson, Researches, 2:108). (See Nob). It probably derived its Heb. name from the vicinity of excavations ( הִגֵּבַים = the ditches; comp.  2 Kings 3:16).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

gē´bim ( גּבים , gēbhı̄m , "trenches"): A place named only in   Isaiah 10:31 . Some would place it at Jebı̄a , identifying it with the Geba of Eusebius, 5 Roman miles from Gophna (modern Jifneh ), on the way to Shechem. Its place, however, in the order of names, after Anathoth, seems to point to some position South of that village, to the Northeast of Jerusalem.
