Cave of Adullam
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Cave of Adullam was originally an underground cavern referred to in the Old Testament, near the town of Adullam, in which David, already anointed to succeed Saul as king, sought refuge from the latter (e.g. 1 Samuel 22 ff). However, it is used more generally to refer to groups of political outsiders plotting their comeback or the overthrow of the status quo, especially after recent defeat; such plotters are sometimes referred to as Adullamites.
