(Hebrew Amam', אֲמָם , gathering; Sept. Ἀμάμ ), a city in the southern part of the tribe of Judah, mentioned between Hazor and Shema (Joshua 15:26), being apparently situated in the tract afterward assigned to Simeon (Joshua 19:1-9); probably about midway on the southern border between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea. The enumeration in Joshua 15:32, shows that this name is to be taken in connection with the preceding, i.e. Hazor-Amam (See HAZOR), which probably designates the same place as KERIOTH-HEZROM (See KERIOTH-HEZROM) (q.v.). (See TRIBE).
(See AM).
