sif?moth, sif?mōth (שׂפמות, siphmōth (Ginsburg), שׁפמות, shiphămōth (Baer); Σαφεί, Sapheı́): One of the cities to which David sent presents from Ziklag (1Sa_30:28). It occurs between Aroer and Eshtemoa, so it must have been somewhere in Southern Judah. The site has not been recovered. Zabdi the Shiphmite (1Ch_27:27) may quite probably have been a native of this place.

(Heb. Siphmoth', שַׂפַמוֹת, fruitful [Furst]; Sept. Σαφεί v.r. Σαφαμώς; Vulg. Sephamoth), one of the places in the south of Judah which David frequented during his freebooting life, and to his friends in which he sent a portion of the spoil taken from the Anmalekites (1Sa_30:28). It is not named by Eusebius or Jerome. It is perhaps the present ruined site Kasi es-Sir in a wady of the same name not far southeast of Arair, or Aroer (Palmer, Desert of the Exodus, p. 341).
