The Definition of the word Naioth

Naioth

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, 19, 22, 23), and here he passed a" few weeks in peace (comp. Ps. 11). It was probably the common "residence of the "sons of the prophets."
