Context: Gimzo is mentioned in the Old Testament as a town in the territory of Judah. It is specifically referenced in 2 Chronicles 28:18, where it is noted that the Philistines captured Gimzo during the reign of King Ahaz. The town is described as being located near the border of the Philistine territory, which made it susceptible to their incursions.
