A biblical place name; the Cave of Adullam mentioned in the Bible where King David took refuge with followers.
From Hebrew Adullam, a town in ancient Judea. The name appears in the Old Testament, particularly 1 Samuel 22, where David hides in the cave.
Adullam became a literary symbol for a place of refuge or a gathering of rebels—19th century British politicians used 'Adullamite' to mock opposition members who met at a critic's home, showing how biblical place names embed themselves in political language.
