Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]

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.

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).
