Ally of Sanballat and Tobiah and adversary of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 2:19, 6:1). In Nehemiah 6:6 he is called "Gashmu," which is probably more correct, as an Arab tribe named "Gushamu" is known (Cook, "Aramaic Glossary," s. 
). When Nehemiah proceeded to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, the Samaritans and the Arabs made efforts to hinder him. Geshem or Gashmu, who probably was the chief of the Arabs, joined theSamaritans and accused Nehemiah of conspiracy against the Persian king.
