Strong's Lexicon Siddim: Siddim Original Word: שִׂדִּים Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to harrow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Siddim" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: The term "Siddim" refers to a valley mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of a battle involving several kings. It is most notably recognized as the location of the "Valley of Siddim," which is associated with the Dead Sea region. Cultural and Historical Background: The Valley of Siddim is historically significant as the site of a major battle described in Genesis 14. This battle involved a coalition of four Mesopotamian kings led by Chedorlaomer against five kings of the cities of the plain, including the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah. The valley is described as being full of tar pits, which played a role in the battle's outcome. The region is traditionally associated with the southern part of the Dead Sea, an area known for its bitumen deposits.
