From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Zeboim
     gazelles or roes. (1.) One of the "five cities of the plain" of
     Sodom, generally coupled with Admah (Gen. 10:19; 14:2; Deut.
     29:23; Hos. 11:8). It had a king of its own (Shemeber), and was
     therefore a place of some importance. It was destroyed along
     with the other cities of the plain.


     
       (2.) A valley or rugged glen somewhere near Gibeah in Benjamin
     (1 Sam. 13:18). It was probably the ravine now bearing the name
     Wady Shakh-ed-Dub'a, or "ravine of the hyena," north of Jericho.
     
       (3.) A place mentioned only in Neh. 11:34, inhabited by the
     Benjamites after the Captivity.
