This entry incorporates text from Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897, with some modernisation.

Zeboim or Tzvoyim - צְבֹיִים "Deer (plural); goats; gazelles; roes", Standard Hebrew Ẓəvoyim, Tiberian Hebrew Ṣəḇōyîm (1.) One of the "five cities of the plain" of Sodom, generally coupled with Admah (Gen. 10:19; 14:2; Deut. 29:23; Hos. 11:8). It had a king of its own (Shemeber), and was therefore a place of some importance. It was destroyed along with the other cities of the plain.


(2.) A valley or rugged glen somewhere near Gibeah in Benjamin (1 Sam. 13:18). It was probably the ravine now bearing the name Wady Shakh-ed-Dub'a, or "ravine of the hyena," north of Jericho.


(3.) A place mentioned only in Neh. 11:34, inhabited by the Benjamites after the Captivity.
