Where is Shepham in the Bible?
Shepham was a landmark located on the northeastern border of the Promised Land, situated between Hazar-enan and Riblah in the region near Mount Hermon and the Anti-Lebanon Mountains. The name means "naked place" and likely refers to one of the bare ridges in that mountainous area. Shepham is mentioned in Numbers 34:10-11 as part of God's description of Israel's territorial boundaries, and it also appears in Ezekiel 47:15-18 in connection with the future borders of the land. The site may have been the birthplace of Zabdi the Shiphmite, who served as David's chief vine-gardener, though this connection remains uncertain.

The word means a "naked" place, and doubtless indicates one of the barer midway ridges of Anti-Lebanon. It was probably the native place of Zabdi the Shiphmite, who was David's chief vine-gardener (1Ch 27:27).
