Telaim:

young lambs, a place at which Saul gathered his army to fight against Amalek (1Sa 15:4); probably the same as Telem (2).

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Telaim:

te-la'-im (ha-tela'-im "the young lambs"; en Galgalois): The place where Saul "summoned the people, and numbered them" (1Sa 15:4) before his attack on Agag, king of the Amalekites. Some authorities read "Telam" for "Havilah" in verse 7 and also find this name in 1Sa 27:8 instead of me‘olam. In Septuagint and Josephus (Ant., VI, vii, 2) Gilgal occurs instead of Telaim, on what ground is not known. Probably Telaim is identical with TELEM (which see), though the former may have been the name of a Bedouin tribe inhabiting the latter district. Compare Dhallam Arabs now found South of Tell el-Milch.

Written by E. W. G. Masterman

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Telaim:

(lambs) the place at which Saul collected and numbered his forces before his attack on Amalek (1 Samuel 16:4) may be identical with TELEM, which see. SEE [TELEM].
