Goyim
Extracted from the Wikipedia article Goy.
Hebrew Bible
There are two exceptions where a "Kingdom of Goyim" is mentioned. One is in Genesis 14:1, where it states that the "King of Goyim" was Tidal. Bible commentaries suggest that the term may refer to Gutium. The other is in Joshua 12:23, where a "King of Goyim in Gilgal" is included in the list of kings slain by Joshua. In all other cases the meaning of goyim is 'nations.'
