Smith's Bible Dictionary

Telem:

(oppression).

(1.) One of the cities in the extreme south of Judah (Joshua 15:24) probably the same as TELAIM. SEE [TELAIM]. The name Dhullam is found in Van De Velde's map, attached to a district immediately to the north of the Kubbet el‐Baul, south of el Milh and Ar'arah-a position very suitable.

(2.) A porter or doorkeeper of the temple in the time of Ezra (Ezra 10:24). He is probably the same as TALMON in Nehemiah 12:25. SEE [TALMON].
