(Heb. Gidom', גַּדְעֹם , a felling; Sept. Γεδάν v.r. Γαλαάδ), a place east of Gibeah, towards the wilderness (of Bethel), where the routed Benjamites turned to escape to the rock Rimmon (Judges 20:45); hence probably in the plain lying north-east of Michmash, and perhaps so called from being a clearing in the woods that anciently covered this tract (2 Kings 2:24; 1 Samuel 14:25). (See MENUKAH).
