This suggests that Etam was part of the inheritance of the tribe of Judah, indicating its importance within the tribal allotments of Israel.<br><br>2. <b>Etam as a Rock or Stronghold:</b> <br> The most notable reference to Etam is found in the narrative of Samson in the Book of Judges. <a href="/judges/15-8.htm">Judges 15:8-11</a> describes how Samson, after striking down the Philistines, "went down and stayed in the cave at the rock of Etam." The rock of Etam served as a refuge for Samson, highlighting its strategic and defensive significance. The location provided a natural stronghold, which was common in the rugged terrain of Judah.<br><br>3. <b>Etam in Solomon's Works:</b> <br> In <a href="/1_kings/4-10.htm">1 Kings 4:10</a>, Etam is mentioned in the context of Solomon's administrative districts: "Ben-Hesed in Arubboth (Socoh and all the land of Hepher were his)." While the text does not explicitly mention Etam, some scholars suggest that it may have been part of this district, indicating its continued relevance during the united monarchy.<br><br>4. <b>Etam in the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah:</b> <br> <a href="/2_chronicles/11-6.htm">2 Chronicles 11:6</a> notes that Rehoboam, Solomon's son, fortified Etam as part of his defensive strategy: "He built up Bethlehem, Etam, Tekoa." This fortification effort underscores Etam's strategic importance in the defense of the southern kingdom of Judah.<br><br><b>Geographical Location:</b> <br>The exact location of Etam is not definitively known, but it is generally associated with the region of Judah, south of Jerusalem. Some scholars propose that it may be identified with modern-day Khirbet el-Khokh or near the area of Bethlehem. The association with a rock or stronghold suggests a location with natural fortifications, possibly in the hill country of Judah.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b> <br>Etam's repeated mention in various contexts highlights its multifaceted role in Israel's history. As a town, it was part of the tribal inheritance of Judah, reflecting the distribution of land among the tribes. As a stronghold, it provided refuge and defense, particularly in the narrative of Samson, where it symbolizes God's provision of safety and strength for His chosen deliverer. The fortification efforts by Rehoboam further emphasize its strategic importance in the defense of the kingdom.<br><br>Etam's presence in the biblical narrative serves as a reminder of the physical and spiritual fortifications that God provides for His people, illustrating themes of refuge, strength, and divine protection throughout the history of Israel.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Etam</span><p>their bird, their covering<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Etam</span><p>(<i>lair of wild beasts</i>). <ol> <li>A village of the tribe of Simeon, specified only in the list in (<a href="/1_chronicles/4-32.htm">1 Chronicles 4:32</a>) comp.

Its supposed site is now occupied by a ruined village balled Urtas, a mile and a half southwest of Bethlehem, not far Solomon's Pools.

A village of the tribe of Simeon (<a href="/1_chronicles/4-32.htm">1 Chronicles 4:32</a>). Into some cleft ("top, " A.V., ; R.V., "cleft") of a rock here Samson retired after his slaughter of the Philistines (<a href="/judges/15-8.htm">Judges 15:8</a>, 11). It was a natural stronghold. It has been identified with Beit 'Atab, west of Bethlehem, near Zorah and Eshtaol. On the crest of a rocky knoll, under the village, is a long tunnel, which may be the "cleft" in which Samson hid.<p>(2.) A city of Judah, fortified by Rehoboam (<a href="/2_chronicles/11-6.htm">2 Chronicles 11:6</a>). It was near Bethlehem and Tekoah, and some distance apparently to the north of (1). It seems to have been in the district called Nephtoah (or Netophah), where were the sources of the water from which Solomon's gardens and pleasure-grounds and pools, as well as Bethlehem and the temple, were supplied. It is now `Ain 'Atan, at the head of the Wady Urtas, a fountain sending forth a copious supply of pure water. <a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">ETAM</span><p>e'-tam `eTam; Codex Alexandrinus, Apan, Codex Vaticanus, Aitan:<br><br>(1) Mentioned in Septuagint along with Tekoa, Bethlehem and Phagor (<a href="/joshua/15-59.htm">Joshua 15:59</a>). In <a href="/2_chronicles/11-6.htm">2 Chronicles 11:6</a> it occurs, between Bethlehem and Tekoa, as one of the cities built "for defense in Judah" by Rehoboam. Josephus writes that "there was a certain place, about 50 furlongs distant from Jerusalem which is called Ethan, very pleasant it is in fine gardens and abounding in rivulets of water; whither he (Solomon) used to go out in the morning" (Ant., VIII, vii, 3). Mention of `Ain `Aitan, which is described as the most elevated place in Palestine, occurs in the Talmud (Zebhachim 54b), and in the Jer. Talmud (Yoma' 3 fol 41) it is mentioned that a conduit ran from `Atan to the Temple.<br><br>The evidence all points to `Ain `Atan, the lowest of the springs supplying the aqueduct running to Solomon's pools. The gardens of Solomon may very well-by tradition, at any rate-have been in the fertile valley below `Urtas. The site of the ancient town Etam is rather to be looked for on an isolated hill, with ancient remains, a little to the East of `Ain `Atan. <a href="/1_chronicles/4-3.htm">1 Chronicles 4:3</a> may also have reference to this Etam.<br><br>(2) A town assigned to Simeon (<a href="/1_chronicles/4-32.htm">1 Chronicles 4:32</a>). Mentioned with EN-RIMMON (which see), identified by Conder with Khurbet `AiTun in the hills Northwest of Beersheba.<br><br>(3) The rock of Etam, where Samson took up his dwelling after smiting the Philistines "hip and thigh with a great slaughter" (<a href="/judges/15-8.htm">Judges 15:8, 11</a>), was in Judah but apparently in the low hill country (same place). The rocky hill on which lies the village of Beit `Atab, near Sur`ah (Zorah), was suggested by Conder, but unless (3) is really identical width (1), which is quite possible, the cavern known as `Arak Isma`in, described by Hanauer (PEFS, 1886, 25), suits the requirements of the story better. The cavern, high up on the northern cliffs of the Wady Isma`in, is a noticeable object from the railway as the train enters the gorge.<br><br>E. W. G.
