About Zeboiim
One of the “cities of the plain” that was destroyed with Sodom and Gomorrah (Dt 29:23; Hos 11:8). Zeboiim is first mentioned, with Sodom, Gomorrah, and Admah, as one of the Canaanite cities in the “table of nations” in Genesis 10:19. It later appears confederated with the same states (including Zoar) in the battle against Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim (Gn 14:2, 8).
