Strong's Lexicon Adullam: Adullam Original Word: עֲדֻלָּם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "justice of the people" or "refuge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Adullam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. Usage: Adullam is primarily known as a city in the Shephelah region of ancient Judah. It is most famously associated with the "Cave of Adullam," which served as a refuge for David when he fled from King Saul. The term is used to denote both the city and the surrounding area, including the cave. Cultural and Historical Background: Adullam was a significant city in the lowlands of Judah, strategically located near the Philistine border. It played a role in various military and historical events in the biblical narrative. The Cave of Adullam became a symbol of refuge and gathering for those who were distressed, in debt, or discontented, as they joined David during his time of fleeing from Saul (1 Samuel 22:1-2). The city was later fortified by Rehoboam, indicating its continued importance (2 Chronicles 11:7).
