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 (1Sam 19:18 ; 19:19; 19:22; 19:23), and here he passed a few weeks in peace [comp. (Ps 11:1 etc.)]. It was probably the common residence of the "sons of the prophets."
