Laishah

Laishah appears once in Scripture in Isaiah's vivid prophetic vision of the Assyrian army's relentless advance toward Jerusalem: "Lift up thy voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, poor Anathoth. Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee" (Isaiah 10:30-31). The prophecy traces the Assyrian invasion route village by village down the central Benjaminite ridge toward Jerusalem — Laishah was a small settlement on that fateful corridor between Anathoth and Madmenah, identified with sites a few miles north of Jerusalem in the tribal territory of Benjamin.
