Dict: easton - Zeboim



easton:



Zeboim @ gazelles or roes.

(1.) One of the "five cities of the plain" of Sodom, generally coupled with Admah kjv@Genesis:10:19 kjv@Genesis:14:2; kjv@Deuteronomy:29:23; kjv@Hosea:11:8). It had a king of its own (Shemeber), and was therefore a place of some importance. It was destroyed along with the other cities of the plain.

(2.) A valley or rugged glen somewhere near Gibeah in Benjamin ( kjv@1Samuel:13:18). It was probably the ravine now bearing the name Wady Shakh-ed
- Dub'a, or "ravine of the hyena," north of Jericho.

(3.) A place mentioned only in kjv@Nehemiah:11:34, inhabited by the Benjamites after the Captivity.
