Jeshimon Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Jeshimon is a wilderness area mentioned in the Bible, located near the town of Ziph in the Judean Desert. It is described as a place where David sought refuge from King Saul, who was pursuing him. The Ziphites, inhabitants of Ziph, informed Saul about David's hiding place in the strongholds of Jeshimon (1Sa.23.19). Saul searched for David in the wilderness of Ziph and Jeshimon (1Sa.23.24), and later camped in Jeshimon when pursuing David (1Sa.26.1, 3). The exact location of Jeshimon is not certain, but it is believed to be in the eastern part of the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea.
Jeshimon Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
The waste, probably some high waste land to the south of the Dead Sea (Num. 21:20; 23:28; 1 Sam. 23:19, 24); or rather not a proper name at all, but simply “the waste” or “wilderness,” the district on which the plateau of Ziph (q.v.) looks down.
