ADULLAM





ADULLAM,a city in the valley or plain of Judah, the king of which was killed by Joshua, Josh. xii. 15. xv. 35. Eusebius, mistaking it for Eglon, places it ten miles east of Eleutheropolis ; Jerome, eleven. Rehoboam rebuilt and fortified it, (2 Chron. xi. 7.) and Judas Maccnbieus encamped in the adjacent plain, 2 Mac. xii. 38. When David withdrew from Achish, king of Gath, he retired to the cave of Adullam, 1 Sam. xxii. 1 ; 2 Sam. xxiii. 13.
