Lubim

lu'-bim (lubhim): A people mentioned in the Old Testament (2Ch 12:3;16:8;Da 11:43;Na 3:9). In all these cases the word is translated in the King James Version "Libyans"; in the Revised Version (British and American) only inDa 11:43. The people so named had their seat in North Africa, West of Egypt (compareAc 2:10, "the parts of Libya about Cyrene"). SeeLIBYA. On three different occasions the Libyans invaded Egypt, and at length, in the 10th century BC, succeeded in founding an Egyptian dynasty underSHISHAK(which see).
