Where is Gallim in the Bible?
Gallim was a town located in the territory of Benjamin, in the region north of Jerusalem near other settlements like Laishah and Anathoth. It is mentioned in the Bible primarily in Isaiah's prophecy (Isaiah 10:30), where it appears as part of a passage describing the Assyrian invasion's path through Judah. The town is also noted as the home of Palti, the son of Laish, who was the husband of Michal after she was given to him by King Saul (1 Samuel 25:44). Scholars generally identify Gallim with the village of Beit Jala, located near Bethlehem in the West Bank region, though its exact location has been debated among biblical geographers.
