Dictionary Summary: 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 ([1 Sam. 19:18](/1sam#1Sam.19.18), [19](/1sam#1Sam.19.19), [22](/1sam#1Sam.19.22), [23](/1sam#1Sam.19.23)), and here he passed a few weeks in peace (comp. [Ps. 11](/ps#Ps.11)). It was probably the common residence of the “sons of the prophets.” 2
