Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term עֲדֻלָּמִי (Adullami) as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of a native or inhabitant of a particular place can be found in various Greek terms used in the New Testament to describe individuals from specific regions or cities.

Usage: The term "Adullamite" is used to refer to a person from the city of Adullam. In the Bible, it is specifically used to describe Hirah, a friend of Judah.

Context: The term עֲדֻלָּמִי (Adullami) appears in the context of the narrative of Judah and Tamar in the Book of Genesis. Adullam was a Canaanite city located in the Shephelah region of ancient Judah. The city is historically significant and is mentioned in various biblical accounts, including those involving King David.

In Genesis 38:1, Judah departs from his brothers and visits an Adullamite named Hirah. This relationship is significant as it sets the stage for the events that follow in the chapter, including Judah's marriage and the birth of his sons. The friendship between Judah and Hirah the Adullamite is indicative of the social and cultural interactions between the Israelites and the Canaanites during this period.

The city of Adullam itself is later mentioned in the context of David's flight from King Saul. David seeks refuge in the Cave of Adullam, which becomes a gathering place for his followers (1 Samuel 22:1-2). This highlights the strategic and geographical importance of Adullam in biblical history.
