NAIOTH

(Heb. nāyôṯ)

A place “in Ramah” to which David fled after escaping from Saul with the help of Michal (1 Sam. 19:18-24). David dwelt in Naioth with Samuel and a band of prophets. As Saul pursued David to Naioth, he was seized by an ecstatic frenzy and prophesied. David fled Naioth to meet Jonathan (1 Sam. 20:1). The repeated references to Naioth “in Ramah” indicates that Naioth is not a separate place name. Although its linguistic form is uncertain, Naioth should be related to Heb. nāweh, which is a shepherd’s camp pitched outside a city. Such a camp was apparently also the dwelling of Samuel and his disciples.

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.
