Places of the Bible

Naioth

Where the name appears

Events told in passages that name Naioth, and how many of their verses do. That is not the same as saying they happened here: a place can be named as a landmark, as somewhere being travelled to, or as the subject of a prophecy.

  • Reign of Saul · 1094 BC · 5 verses

Easton’s Bible Dictionary

Dwellings, the name given to the prophetical college established by Samuel near Ramah. It consisted of a cluster of separate dwellings, and hence its name. David took refuge here when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 19:18, 19, 22, 23), and here he passed a few weeks in peace (comp. Ps. 11). It was probably the common residence of the “sons of the prophets.”

From M. G. Easton, Illustrated Bible Dictionary (1893), in the public domain.
