GALLIM

(Heb. gallîm)

A settlement in Benjamin whose name means “heaps of stones” or “ruins.” After David had rejected Saul’s daughter Michal, she was given to Paltiel of Gallim as his wife (1 Sam. 25:44). With Saul’s capital at Bigeah, Gallim can be assumed to have been a nearby city and Paltiel the son of its prominent leader, Laish. Isaiah prophesied that although the victorious Assyrian army would pass through Gallim before conquering Jerusalem, the Lord would provide a remnant of his people to return (Isa. 10:30). Both Khirbet Kaʾkûl, 1 km. (.6 mi.) NW of Anathoth, and Khirbet Erḥa, just S of Ramah, have been suggested as the modern ruins of the town.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
