Gebim

Easton's Bible Dictionary

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.

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

ge'-bim (gebhim, "trenches"): A place named only in Isa 10:31. Some would place it at Jebia, 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.
