From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  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."
