JESHIMON

(Heb. yĕšîmôn)

A desert region characterized by lack of rainfall and vegetation; a wasteland. Jeshimon is used to refer to desert regions in general (Deut. 32:10; Isa. 43:19; Ps. 68:7[MT 8]; 78:40; 106:14; 107:4) and to two specific desert locations.

1. A desert region E of the Judean mountains and W of the Dead Sea. It is near the region of Ziph, N of the hill of Hachilah (1 Sam. 23:19; 26:1, 3) and the desert of Maon in the Arabah (1 Sam. 23:24). It is the region to which David fled to escape the pursuit of Saul. Jeshimon refers to the region commonly known as the Judean wilderness.

2. A desert region at the northeastern end of the Dead Sea, bordering the land of Moab. It is overlooked by Mt. Pisgah (Num. 21:20) and Mt. Peor (23:28). Beth-jeshimoth (Josh. 12:3) is probably located within this region.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
