ZEBOIIM

(Heb. ṣĕḇōʾîm, ṣĕḇōyîm)

One of five “cities of the plain” destroyed by the Lord, along with Sodom and Gomorrah, because of their wickedness (Gen. 19:24-29). Although the account of God’s overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah does not mention Zeboiim, its destruction is assumed in Deut. 29:23(MT 22); Hos. 11:8. Zeboiim marked the Canaanites’ southern border (Gen. 10:19), and was one of the five cities attacked by Chedorlaomer and three other kings; Shemeber, king of Zeboiim, with his four allies, opposed Chedorlaomer and was defeated in the valley of Siddim (Gen. 14:1-10).

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.
