ZALMON

(Heb. ṣalmôn)

(PLACE)

1. A mountain in the vicinity of Shechem where Abimelech and his men cut wood to use in burning out the people who had barricaded themselves in the “tower of Shechem” (Judg 9:48-49). It is most often identified with the slopes of either Mt. Gerazim or Mt. Ebal, although it could simply be an alternative name for one or the other of these famous peaks.

2. A mountain mentioned in Ps 68:14(MT 15). The poetic context seems to place it parallel to the “mountain of Bashan,” which to most scholars implies a location E of the Jordan River, perhaps in the vicinity of Mt. Hermon. Even so, this passage may refer to the mountain near Shechem (1 above).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
