(Heb. Gidom', âַּãְòֹí , a felling; Sept. ÃåäÜí v.r. ÃáëáÜä ), a place east of Gibeah, towards the wilderness (of Bethel), where the routed Benjamites turned to escape to the rock Rimmon (Jdg_20:45); hence probably in the plain lying north-east of Michmash, and perhaps so called from being a clearing in the woods that anciently covered this tract (2Ki_2:24; 1Sa_14:25).
