Lu'bim. (dwellers in a thirsty land). A nation mentioned as contributing, together with Cushites and Sukkiim, to Shishak's army, 2 Chronicles 12:3, and apparently, as forming, with Cushites, the bulk of Zerah's army, 2 Chronicles 16:8, spoken of by Nahum, Nahum 3:9, with Put or Phut, as helping No-amon (Thebes), of which Cush and Egypt were the strength.

Upon the Egyptian monuments, we find representations of a people called Rebu or Lebu, who correspond to the Lubim, and who may be placed on the African coast to the westward of Egypt, perhaps extending far beyond the Cyrenaica.
