Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [3]

GIDOM . The limit of the pursuit of Benjamin by the other tribes ( Judges 21:15 ). Possibly the word is not a proper name, but may be read as an infinitive, ‘till they cut them off.’ No place of the name of Gidom is mentioned elsewhere.

Morrish Bible Dictionary [4]

Place to which the Benjamites were pursued after the battle of Gibeah. Judges 20:45 .

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [5]

gı̄´dom ( גּדעם , gidh‛ōm ): The limit eastward, from Gibeah toward the wilderness, of the pursuit of Benjamin by Israel ( Judges 20:45 ). No name suggesting this has yet been recovered. It is not mentioned elsewhere.

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [6]

(Heb. Gidom', גַּדְעֹם , a felling; Sept. Γεδάν v.r. Γαλαάδ), a place east of Gibeah, towards the wilderness (of Bethel), where the routed Benjamites turned to escape to the rock Rimmon (Judges 20:45); hence probably in the plain lying north-east of Michmash, and perhaps so called from being a clearing in the woods that anciently covered this tract (2 Kings 2:24; 1 Samuel 14:25). (See Menukah).
