ETAM
A town in Judah near Bethlehem and Tekoa; a favorite resort of Solomon, and fortified by Rehoboam, 1 Chronicles 4:3, 1 Chronicles 1:4; 2 Chronicles 11:6. 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. "The rock Etam" to which Samson withdrew, Judges 1:15-19, may have been in this vicinity, perhaps the Frank mountain two miles east.
