Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun גִּדְעֹם (Gidom), as it is a specific location mentioned in the Old Testament without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: The term "Gidom" appears in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It is specifically mentioned in the narrative concerning the tribe of Benjamin.

Context: Gidom is referenced in the Book of Judges, specifically in Judges 20:45. The passage describes a battle involving the tribe of Benjamin. After a fierce conflict, the Benjaminites fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and during their retreat, they were pursued as far as Gidom. The location of Gidom is not precisely identified in modern geographical terms, and it is not frequently mentioned elsewhere in biblical texts. The narrative highlights the intensity of the conflict and the pursuit of the Benjaminites by the other Israelite tribes. The mention of Gidom serves to mark the extent of the pursuit and the desperation of the fleeing Benjaminites.
