Subjects in this Topic:
TELAIM (‘the lambs’).—The place at which Saul concentrated his forces, and numbered his fighting men before his campaign against the Amalekites (1Sa_15:4). The LXX [Note: Septuagint.] reads Gilgal for Telaim, and Josephus (Ant. VI. vii. 2) also makes Gilgal the place of assembly. A more suitable locality for the place of assembly would, however, be in the Negeb, or South; and here lay Telem (Jos_15:24), with which Telaim is probably identical.
