Gimzo

GIMZO gĭm’ zō (גִּמְזֹ֖ו, sycamore). One of several cities wrested from Ahaz by the Philistines (2 Chron 28:18). These losses, combined with an Edomite invasion, caused Ahaz to appeal to Tiglath-pileser of Assyria for help (28:16). Not mentioned elsewhere in Scripture, it is modern Jimzu, a few m. N of Gezer.
