<p> | <p> [[Etam]] (''ç'tam'' ), the Rock. The place of Samson's retreat after the slaughter of the Philistines. Judges 15:8; Judges 15:11. Conder locates it at ''Beit ʾAtâb,'' a little north of ''Eshuʾa'' (Eshtaol), which he thinks fully meets all the requisites of the case. It has clefts, caves, and a rock tunnel which would so effectually conceal one that those not acquainted with the place might not find him, nor even the entrance to the tunnel, except by accident. </p> | ||
