It is most famously associated with the "Cave of Adullam," which served as a refuge for David when he fled from King Saul. The term is used to denote both the city and the surrounding area, including the cave.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Adullam was a significant city in the lowlands of Judah, strategically located near the Philistine border. It played a role in various military and historical events in the biblical narrative. The Cave of Adullam became a symbol of refuge and gathering for those who were distressed, in debt, or discontented, as they joined David during his time of fleeing from Saul (1 Samuel 22:1-2). The city was later fortified by Rehoboam, indicating its continued importance (2 Chronicles 11:7).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an
