Naioth: Dwellings, the name given to the prophetical college established by
Samuel near Ramah. It consisted of a cluster of separate dwellings,
and hence its name. David took refuge here when he fled from Saul
(1 Samuel 19:18,19,22,23) and here he passed a few weeks in peace (comp.)
(Psalms 11:1)ff It was probably the common residence of the "sons of the
prophets."
