Gebim was the small place north of Jerusalem whose inhabitants fled before the Assyrian advance. It is important because it appears in Isaiah's vivid march-poem of approaching invasion. First appears in Isa 10:31.1
AI summary: Gebim matters because Isaiah's prophecy builds fear through a sequence of real places drawing nearer to Jerusalem. The village belongs to that tightening geography of alarm.1
Cisterns, (rendered “pits,” Jer. 14:3; “locusts,” Isa. 33:4), a small place north of Jerusalem, whose inhabitants fled at the approach of the Assyrian army (Isa. 10:31). It is probably the modern el-Isawiyeh. 3
