Gebim

Gebim is a location briefly mentioned in the context of an impending invasion described in the Book of Isaiah, which is quoted within the Book of Mormon. The mention in the scripture serves to chronicle the advance of an enemy army towards Jerusalem, with Gebim being one such waypoint where tumult and fear amongst the populace are evident. As the inhabitants of various towns along the invasion route are depicted in a state of panic, those of Gebim are similarly noted to “gather themselves to flee” (2 Nephi 20:31), illustrating the dread and chaos inflicted by the approaching threat. Positioned likely in the territory of Benjamin, Gebim’s precise geographical details, historical significance, inhabitants, and socio-political ramifications are not expounded upon in the text, leaving its characterization largely up to the realm of inferred scriptural context and imagination. The reference to Gebim exemplifies the broader distress faced by the region and underscores the pervasive atmosphere of urgency and escape related to the prophecies against Jerusalem.
