Where is Siphmoth in the Bible?
Siphmoth was a town located in southern Judah during the Old Testament period, though its exact location has not been identified by modern archaeologists. The town is mentioned in 1 Samuel 30:28 as one of the settlements that received a share of the spoils after David defeated the Amalekites and rescued the captives from Ziklag.

The name may also appear in connection with Zabdi the Shiphmite mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:27, who was likely a native of this southern Judahite settlement.
