Siphmoth

Fruitful places, some unknown place in the south, where David found friends when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 30:28).

(fruitful), one of the places in the south of Judah which David frequented during his freebooting life. (1 Samuel 30:28)

sif'-moth, sif'-moth (siphmoth (Ginsburg), shiphamoth (Baer); Saphei): One of the cities to which David sent presents from Ziklag (1Sa 30:28). It occurs between Aroer and Eshtemoa, so it must have been somewhere in Southern Judah. The site has not been recovered. Zabdi the Shiphmite (1Ch 27:27) may quite probably have been a native of this place.
