Madmenah flees
The name "Madmenah" is derived from the Hebrew root "madmen," which means "dunghill" or "manure heap." This city, likely located near Jerusalem, is mentioned in the context of the Assyrian invasion. The imagery of fleeing suggests a sudden and urgent evacuation, highlighting the fear and chaos that the Assyrian army instilled in the hearts of the people. Historically, this reflects the real threat posed by the Assyrians, known for their military prowess and brutal tactics. Theologically, it serves as a reminder of the consequences of turning away from God, as the Israelites had done, leading to their vulnerability and fear.

the people of Gebim take refuge
"Gebim" is another location mentioned in this passage, though its exact historical location is uncertain. The name may be related to the Hebrew word "gib," meaning "cistern" or "pit," suggesting a place of storage or hiding. The phrase "take refuge" indicates a defensive action, a seeking of safety amidst impending danger. This reflects the broader biblical theme of seeking refuge in God during times of trouble. In the historical context, the people of Gebim, like many others, would have sought physical refuge from the advancing Assyrian forces. Spiritually, this can be seen as a metaphor for seeking divine protection and guidance, emphasizing the importance of faith and reliance on God in times of crisis.

Verse 31. - Madmenah...Gebim. These are, like Gallim and Laisha, villages otherwise unknown. They must have been within a mile or two of Jerusalem, towards the north. Their inhabitants fly as the Assyrians approach.
