Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term טְלָאִים (Telaim), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, may use transliterations or equivalent place names, but these are not directly linked to a specific Strong's Greek number.

Usage: The term "Telaim" appears in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the narrative of King Saul's military campaign against the Amalekites.

Context: Telaim is identified as a location where King Saul gathered his troops before launching an attack against the Amalekites, as recorded in 1 Samuel 15:4. The name Telaim is thought to be related to the Hebrew word for "lambs," suggesting a place associated with sheep or pastures. The exact location of Telaim is not definitively known, but it is believed to be situated in the southern part of ancient Israel, possibly in the Negev region. The gathering at Telaim was a significant event, as it marked the beginning of Saul's campaign, which was commanded by God through the prophet Samuel. This campaign was notable for Saul's disobedience in sparing King Agag and the best of the livestock, leading to his eventual rejection as king.
