Zeboim @ gazelles or roes. (1.) One of the "five cities of the plain" of Sodom, generally coupled with Admah Genesis:10:19Genesis:14:2; Deuteronomy:29:23; Hosea:11:8). It had a king of its own (Shemeber), and was therefore a place of some importance. It was destroyed along with the other cities of the plain. (2.) A valley or rugged glen somewhere near Gibeah in Benjamin ( 1Samuel:13:18). It was probably the ravine now bearing the name Wady Shakh-ed-Dub'a, or "ravine of the hyena," north of Jericho. (3.) A place mentioned only in Nehemiah:11:34, inhabited by the Benjamites after the Captivity.
