1. Adullam (proper noun) — Proper noun designating the Canaanite royal city of Adullam (עֲדֻלָּם) in the Shephelah of Judah, famous as the location of the cave where David took refuge from Saul (1 Sam 22:1). Multilingual evidence is consistent: eng 'Adullam / and-Adullam', spa 'Adulam / y-Adulan', arb 'عَدُلّام / و-عَدُلّام', kor '아둘람 / 그리고-아둘람', swa 'Adulamu / na-Adulamu'. The only difference between clusters is the conjunction waw prefix, a grammatical variation not a semantic one. 8×
