Subjects in this Topic:
ADULLAM.—A city in the Shephelah, assigned to Judah; named between Jarmuth and Socoh (Jos_15:35 etc.). It is probably the modern ‘Id el-Ma’, about 8 miles N.W. of Beit Jibrîn. Rehoboam fortified it (2Ch_11:7), and the children of Judah returned to it after the captivity (Neh_11:30). The Cave of Adullam, the refuge of David (1Sa_22:1 etc.), must have been one of those in the adjoining valley. Adullamite (Gen_38:1 etc.) = an inhabitant of Adullam.
