It is likely a small village or settlement near Jerusalem. The mention of Madmenah fleeing indicates the fear and panic spreading among the inhabitants due to the advancing Assyrian army. This reflects the historical context of the Assyrian campaigns under King Sennacherib, who threatened the southern kingdom of Judah during the reign of King Hezekiah. The flight of Madmenah's inhabitants symbolizes the broader fear and chaos experienced by the people of Judah as they faced a formidable enemy. This phrase highlights the fulfillment of prophetic warnings about the consequences of turning away from God, as seen in earlier chapters of Isaiah.<p><b>the people of Gebim take refuge.</b><br>Gebim is another location mentioned in the context of the Assyrian threat. Like Madmenah, it is likely a small settlement near Jerusalem. The people of Gebim seeking refuge suggests a desperate attempt to find safety from the impending danger posed by the Assyrian forces. This action underscores the urgency and seriousness of the situation, as the inhabitants seek protection from the overwhelming military power of Assyria. The historical context of this event is crucial, as it demonstrates the fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecies regarding the judgment and deliverance of Judah.
