However, the concept of a stronghold or refuge might be related to Greek terms for similar structures or places of safety. Usage: The term Etam is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote specific locations, including a village in the territory of Judah and a rock or stronghold associated with Samson. Context: • Etam in Judah: Etam is mentioned as a village in the territory of Judah. It is listed among the cities fortified by Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, as recorded in 2 Chronicles 11:6: "He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa." This suggests its strategic importance in the defense of the kingdom.
