Zeboim [N] [S] One of the "five cities of the plain" of Sodom, generally coupled with Admah ( Genesis 10:19 ; 14:2 ; Deuteronomy 29:23 ; 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. A valley or rugged glen somewhere near Gibeah in Benjamin ( 1 Samuel 13:18 ). It was probably the ravine now bearing the name Wady Shakh-ed-Dub'a, or "ravine of the hyena," north of Jericho. A place mentioned only in Nehemiah 11:34 , inhabited by the Benjamites after the Captivity. These dictionary topics are from
