Jeshimon

Jeshimon is a wilderness area mentioned in the Bible, located near the town of Ziph in the Judean Desert. It is described as a place where David sought refuge from King Saul, who was pursuing him. The Ziphites, inhabitants of Ziph, informed Saul about David's hiding place in the strongholds of Jeshimon (1 Samuel 23:19). Saul searched for David in the wilderness of Ziph and Jeshimon (1 Samuel 23:24), and later camped in Jeshimon when pursuing David (1 Samuel 26:1, 3). The exact location of Jeshimon is not certain, but it is believed to be in the eastern part of the Judean Desert, near the Dead Sea.
