GALLIM gal'-im (gallim), "heaps"): Probably two distinct places: (1) A town mentioned among the 11 additional cities of Judah which are in the Septuagint appended to Josh 15:59, and have altogether disappeared from the Hebrew text. It occurs between Karem (`Ain Kairem) and Baither (Bettir); it is probably the large and flourishing village of Beit Jala, near Bethlehem. (2) Gallim is mentioned in Isa 10:30; not far from Laishah and Anathoth and certainly North of Jerusalem. It was the home of Palti the son of Laish (1 Sam 25:44), and it is by many authorities identified with the Gilgal on the North border of Judah (Josh 15:7), the Geliloth of the parallel passage (Josh 18:17), and the Beth-gilgal of Neh 12:29.
