Siph'moth (Heb. Siphmoth', שַׂפַמוֹת, fruitful [Furst]; Sept. Σαφεί v.r. Σαφαμώς; Vulg. Sephamoth), one of the places in the south of Judah which David frequented during his freebooting life, and to his friends in which he sent a portion of the spoil taken from the Anmalekites (1Sa 30:28). It is not named by Eusebius or Jerome. It is perhaps the present ruined site Kasi es-Sir in a wady of the same name not far southeast of Arair, or Aroer (Palmer, Desert of the Exodus, p. 341).
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
