Gidom

Gidom is a place-name that occurs once, fixing the eastern limit of Israel's pursuit of the Benjamites after the battle of Gibeah.

Limit of Pursuit after Gibeah

After the rout, the surviving Benjamites flee toward the wilderness, and the avenging tribes harry them along the road: "And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon: and they gleaned of them in the highways five thousand men, and stuck [closely] after them to Gidom, and struck of them two thousand men" (Judg 20:45). Gidom marks how far the pursuit ran before the slaughter on the highway gave way to the standoff at the rock of Rimmon. Its location is otherwise unrecorded.
